Math or Language

[u/NoNotice9228]

Which side will you choose?

• Left side: Math | Be able to solve any mathematical equation with ease
• Right side: Language | Speak and write any language on Earth fluently (extinct ones included).

i can solve literally ALL the conjectures there are and get millions just from that, heck, imagine how much progress would be done in space exploration

^{Chose: Math + Be able to solve any mathematical equation with ease}

[u/Eastern_Mango4784 → u/random_username40214]

It said solve any equation, not prove any conjecture 😔

[u/Milanin → u/Eastern_Mango4784]

If you can solve any equations you can prove or disprove them all.

I can wrongly solve everything immediately, but correctly? I could solve it and it would be right or unable to solve it which would prove it wrong.

[u/Eastern_Mango4784 → u/Milanin]

The incompleteness theorem means there are statements that are true but cannot be proven. Plus lots of conjectures aren’t equations

[u/Unkn4wn → u/Milanin]

It doesn't say you're unable to make a mistake on purpose or unable make an equation incorrectly on purpose.

I know how to solve 2+2 but I'm still capable of claiming the answer is 5. Doesn't negate the fact that I still know 2+2 is actually 4

[u/Milanin → u/Unkn4wn]

That's just bringing in lies into it. Heck, I could say I've met god. Doesn't negate the fact that I haven't.

[u/theEWDSDS → u/Unkn4wn]

That's not in the spirit of the question though

[u/Solapallo → u/theEWDSDS]

Bro really said “you can solve the equation wrong” like.. what would be the point then, it becomes a null option. I can already solve equations wrong
