Put more simply, there's nothing special about -1.
- qubex 7y agoExcept that when discussing transcendentals (full-blooded reals such as e and π) integers such as –1 have measure zero and are therefore ruled out as freak coincidences.
- shrimpx 7y agoI'm a dummy I'll have to study your statement.
- thaumasiotes 7y agoSimplified: Integers make up 0% (the figure is exact, not rounded) of the real number line. (And from that perspective, if you do happen to see an integer, something pretty weird must have happened.)
- thaumasiotes 7y ago-1 has unit magnitude. It's pretty special. ;D e and pi are special too; nobody's questioning that. But they're not related to each other.
