1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1...
I rabbitholed with that years ago while playing around with Python, probabilities and infinity. That "thing" was discovered by a religious guy who thought it had something to do with God, as a series that created something from nothing, and harassed a famous Calculus mathematician for years to study it. I found it's related to Thomson's Lamp, and I'm convinced it hides the key to a new kind of Math, beyond quantum computing: supertasks.
The deepest I went into the problem was classifying those supertasks like Grandi's, Thomson's, the sum of all natural numbers, and there are others, but they form patterns.
