Witchdoctor and Witchlady, in times of Covid19 quarantine, decided to repaint the fence planks. They disassembled the wooden planks , cleaned them and started to repaint them in series of six and five planks.
While painting them, each in front of the other,each painting from his side into the middle, six planks posed on two work trestles,
WD said automatically: “Give me the middle one.”He was dividing 6 by 2 and idiotically thought it is 3, the third being as a middle one.
“There is no middle one” said Witchlady.
“Oh, I see, it is fun, we have to rethink this” said WD. Witchlady is always right and he was “left”, speechless.
If one assumes that for.ex. 6 is a symmetric number, going from the left to the right and reverse, there is no middle.Having six planks and dividing them in half in real life, means nothing. The Half is empty, it is a non real number and it is not 3 for real, 3 is abstract division functioning as a void..
This applies for even numbers in real life. If you think it is 3, then in six planks you have 2x number three (3) planks, the one counting from the left and the one counting from the right and they are different planks..
Now, we started to paint the 5 planks series. And there is a middle plank. It is 2+1+2= 5 5-4=1
6-3= zero middle which is not 3
If you use a division in 5 planks series, you get 2,5. It is a non existing plank in real life.
In odd series numbers there is a middle number for real, if one assumes a series to be symmetric. Left right left.
In odd number series there is a real middle number, a real plank there in front of you,while in even series there is none. In odd series the number divided in half gets a divided number, always less than one while in even series dividing by half one gets essentially a zero real number.
Ok, you think Covid19 has left huge effects on WD. Up to you, but think, this is of a huge consequence in any further math operations. You are essentially getting,for real,when dividing in half, in even series the non real numbers and in odd series a real number which is always less than 1.
It is Odd, very odd and fun.
The prime numbers have all the real middle except no. 2. Odd. Is 2 a real prime number? And why not? Because of the missing real middle?
The function of real middle number?
If we apply this to statistics? Well, to WD , you get a lot of bollocks.
That is why one has to use the probability of finding something.
And think covid stats. They all are very happy because the growth of new cases is 2% or 3% on existing number. Up to you. But if you take the 3% as a compound interest, divide in 72, you get 24. In 24 days your existing number doubles, if you have started from 100.000 people infected, you get 200.000 people infected in 24 days.24 days more and the people are 400.000. Even if you have 1% people infected, you double in 72 days. Etc.Where Do you see the end of the series, with waves coming and crashing?
Keep painting, but for real. Do not paint the non existing,It is called bollocks.
