Divergent series Memes

EUREKA! Someone finally "solved" infinity! *maniacal laughter* This mathematical madness takes a perfectly valid formula for summing finite numbers and then applies it to infinity with the subtlety of a wrecking ball! The proof starts with a correct formula, then veers into the mathematical twilight zone by claiming that 1+2+3+... equals -1/12 (which is actually a famous result in string theory, but NOT in the way shown here). Then it performs quadratic formula gymnastics to "calculate" infinity as -0.2113... Absolute numerical nonsense! It's like trying to measure the universe with a broken ruler while riding a unicycle. No Fields Medal for you, but perhaps a Nobel Prize in Creative Mathematics?

The mathematician's ultimate revenge fantasy! Rejecting astrology only to embrace something even more mystifying - divergent series. While horoscopes claim to predict your future based on star positions, mathematicians like Berkeley and Kronecker assign actual numerical values to infinite sums that have no business converging. Those infinite series shown are the mathematical equivalent of astrology to most normal humans - completely nonsensical results that somehow equal fractions. The alternating series 1-1+1-1+... somehow equals 1/2? The natural numbers summing to -1/12? Pure mathematical witchcraft that makes zodiac signs look downright scientific. Next time someone asks for your sign, just tell them you're a divergent series and watch their soul leave their body.

Mathematicians trying to escape capitalism with divergent series is peak desperation. The meme exploits Ramanujan's famous result that the sum of all positive integers equals -1/12, which sounds absurd but is actually a complex analytical continuation result. Unfortunately, banks don't accept mathematical paradoxes as currency. Trust me, I've tried paying my mortgage with the Banach-Tarski paradox—apparently creating two houses from one isn't "legitimate refinancing." The sunglasses on Ramanujan just complete the "mathematical heist" vibe.
