Doesn't the scientific law that nothing can be created nor destroyed violate this basic principal of logic (1+1=2)?

Can you accept that a number times 1 = the number itself, so that x * 1 = x.
We know that a + a = 2a, by definition of multiplying by 2. Let a =1, then 1 + 1 = 2 * 1. But from our first sentence 2 * 1 = 2, so 1 + 1 = 2.

The book " Principia Mathematica" by Russel and Alfred Whitehead has a concrete proof which you may find interesting (page 362.)
This is a scan of that page: http://www.mrtc.mdh.se/~icc/principia.gif
(Please note, the book was published before 1923, and so is in the public domain. Hence, it is legal to post scans)

First figure out what 1 is. Then get another 1. Then count them.

if I punched you once and the right eye and once in the left eye you would have two black eyes. 1+1 = 2

How do you use the latin phrase "a priori" and misspell "usage" in the same sentence?
