Start with,

-1/1 = -1/1

Rearrange,

-1/1 = 1/-1

Square root both sides,

sqrt(-1/1) = sqrt(1/-1)

Split Square root,

sqrt(-1)/sqrt(1) = sqrt(1)/sqrt(-1)

Cross Multiply,

sqrt(-1) x sqrt(-1) = sqrt(1) x sqrt(1)

-1 = 1

Multiply by 3/2 on both sides,

-3/2 = 3/2

Add 7/2 to both sides,

7/2 - 3/2 = 7/2 + 3/2

(7 - 3)/2 = (7 + 3)/2

4/2 = 10/2

2 = 5

1+1 = 5 (done)

If you are trying to prove that 1 + 1 can equal another number other than 2, then it can occur when calculating bandwidth. This also occurs when trying to process reality. It can be argued that Math is a feature of society and only of this universe. Whereas in a different universe the notion of 1 might equally represent our notion of 2, 1 million, etc.

Let
x = 1

Thus,
x = 1 · 1 · 1 · 1 · 1 · 1 · 1 · 1 · 1 · .......................

Therefore, since 1 = 4/4,
x = 4/4 · 4/4 · 4/4 · 4/4 · 4/4 · 4/4 · 4/4 · 4/4 · .............

Ergo, since 4/4 = 4 · 1/4 = 1/4 · 4,
x = 4 · 1/4 · 4 · 1/4 · 4 · 1/4 · 4 · 1/4 · 4 · 1/4 · 4 · 1/4 · .......

And
x = 1/4 · 4 · 1/4 · 4 · 1/4 · 4 · 1/4 · 4 · 1/4 · 4 · 1/4 · 4 · .......

Then,
x = 4 · (1/4 · 4 · 1/4 · 4 · 1/4 · 4 · 1/4 · 4 · 1/4 · 4 · 1/4 · .......)

Then again,
x = 4 · x

Since x = 1,
1 = 4 · 1

Add 1 to both sides
1 + 1 = 4 + 1

Since 4 + 1 = 5,
1 + 1 = 5

1/inf
5/inf
then u can prove 1=any no
1+1=5

I like Kevin's false proof. (Can you find the trick to it?) For a real number system where this is actually true, use the 3-digit clock (mod 3).

1+1=2 mod 3
5=3+2=2 mod 3

Easy we redine our nunber system as:

0,1,5,3,4,2,6,7,8,9...

therfore 1+1=5

that wasn't so hard was it?

or we could define 5 as the sum of 1 and 1

where 1 is a variable that equals 2.5
