I study quantum physics and I can say that Terrence Howard is 100% correct. So long as you overlook the parts he’s wrong about, he is pretty much right about everything.
Physics was my first choice but I’m too dumb for that now I study biology and even I can effectively say that he is correct except for the parts that he’s not.
So basically, this man was told he was wrong as a child in school, and out of embarrassment and spite, he has doubled down on that one wrong answer ever since 😂
When the movie was still fairly new, I used to roll my eyes at people who were like "Idiocracy is a documentary." I saw it as the kind of "everybody's stupid but me" sort of thing people of average intelligence who think they're smarter than they are would say. But now...nah, my bad, those people were right. It's genuinely surreal.

Multiplication is literally just a quick and fancy way of counting the sum of a number.. 1*1 is one because by itself it sums up to one. 256*1 is 256 because by itself it sums up to 256. How could someone argue with that logic lol

i know someone who has tried saying the same logic, like how when you do something like put fingers together there is infinite space between the two that makes it so the two sides never touch because they are never really in contact with each other. overall its all bat shit crazy logic that has no real roots in science, its just people who wanna sound smrt.

That's why his whole situation is funny. I chose to think that his brain broke after he saw how much money the MCU franchise and Don Cheadle was made. His brain broke so hard that he had an existential crisis and made up a type of math.

"After thoughtful reflection and literally thousands of hours of observation couple with 5 decades of deep and contemplative work upon the subject, it has brought me to the conclusion...." Terrance is 53 years old. At the age of 3, he was doing "deep contemplative work" on mathematical theory. Truly a man beyond our time
Narcissism. He's so narcissistic that he thinks he's totally convincing everyone about things he clearly doesnt know anything about, and hes trying to take credit for making huge discoveries that arent really discoveries. He thinks if he just talks about math and science, no matter what he says about them, it must be true because he said it. He thinks hes the one and only person on the entire planet who knows these things about math and science that arent true. It just feels like full blown narcissicm
I mean, the minute he says he has “technology” far more advanced than anyone on the planet, even the mathematical illiterates applauding him should go “what?” and ask for proof.

Apparently this happened at university when he studied engineering. Allegedly he got into an argument with a professor about 1*1=1 It seems Howard can't take no for an answer.
He sounds like that one guy who’s watched a few popular-science shows, learned a few math/physics related terminology and then tries to create some kind of ”theory”.
If you haven't seen Terrence's speech at Oxford University's Union it is amazing. He clearly thought he was being invited to talk about his ideas rather than acting and gets called out by literally everyone
he is confusing it with addition, you can see when Charlie has the paper on-screen on one of the pages that 1x1=2 1x2=3 1x3=4 on and on, he made a freaking multiplication table
@@Hephaestios01 Like out of left field, a random/surprising/crazy thing just happened. Steve just learned how to fly, wow that’s outta pocket/left field. I probably explained it pretty terribly but that’s more or less what it means.
I've been studying university level mathematics for about 7 years and yes I've read his "paper". I can only describe this experience as a cringe-induced mass yeet of IQ points.
If I'm not mistaken, there are *some* legitimate mathematicians who don't believe that the real numbers exist, as in root(2) isn't a number, and maybe also 0? Or maybe all of those people are mathematicians of the past? Idk I'm taking real analysis 1 right now and we were talking about 0 and the reals and formulating them and such.
By his logic, 2 doesn’t exist, 3 doesn’t exist, 4 doesn’t exits and so on. If “all is one✨” than 1 is the only number that exists. But the concept of math is abstract, it isn’t in specific reference to a material object
Someone should tell him we can Write a number down that can represent more atoms in the entire universe and just hope he doesn't just say 'ya I know, 1'
Numbers in itself is a concept so technically yes but no because math is the language of science and the language of the universe so even if aliens were to exist math would be the best way to understand them because it's the language of the universe
I think dude snapped honestly. He seemed pretty sane early on in his career never anything about this math crap until around the time he started doing the show Empire then he just went off the deep end. Always interesting to see mental illness manifest in a celeb. You get to see how quickly a person can go from being normal and perfectly function to just broke over a short span of time.

He's been violently unstable his entire adult life. In 2001 he was beating and stalking his ex wife and making terrorist claims. He did the same thing to his next wife. Most of the film industry hates the guy for being unstable and difficult to work with. He didn't lose the Iron Man 2 contract purely because he wanted more money than Robert Downey Jr, it was also because of his atrocious behaviour on the set of the first film. The guy is deeply disturbed.
@@espalorp3286 shit, you were able to see it all over the place with the pandemic. Even with the solid, well-researched science that was peer-reviewed and easily accessible, people took Plandemic as gospel.
The first thing I learned about multiplication was that you essentially add the first number to itself a number of times equal to the second number 2×3 is 2+2+2 That made 1×1 really simple to understand.
From his examples on the paper, it seems like he's just treating multiplication as though it's addition when it comes to a 1. He wrote "therefore 1×2=3, 1×3=4 (etc)" all the way up to 18. I wonder if he does the same with 2 (as in 2×3=5). So far it seems like he just forgot addition exists lol
Maybe he just read up on some group theory and decided to adopt multiplicative notation instead of additive? Just to be clear, it still makes no sense.
Zero don’t exist, nothing can’t exist so zero has to have value which would equal 1. In Order to get nothing, something must be acting upon it. You can’t give someone something zero times and ask if they have anything, or have something zero times. 0x1=1 0x2=2 1x2=3 so 2x3=8 because you have 2 and acquired it an additional 3 more times on top of what u have already. 👍🏽

Worked for me. I eat rejection for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Except 0. Now I'm active with a lover every day. And others too. We're cool with it. Maybe they got a point. Maybe he's not talking about just numbers alone. Maybe, just maybe he's talking about people and how we all affect each other indirectly even if we don't see it when people turn a blind eye. Which makes sense. Ever tried to communication with 0? Needs 1x1. To make two. So the logic in that light does add up.
he also has a talk in oxford where he claimed to have been working on the "flower of life" since before he was born and that allowed him to discover something like 70 types of particles but he forgot to show them even though he was waving one around
The best part of his 0 stuff is that zero is literally a *required concept* for higher mathematics. If you really *forced* him to get into it with math and he were capable of going that far he would very likely start using *another* term to represent 0, and maintain his position on 'zero', meaning it likely comes down to a semantics/definitions problem, despite the fact he's still crazy
Right. He thinks zero "exists" when it's merely a descriptor saying something has a property of none. Done. His entire existence and "work" in this field is debunked.
Exactly, he's arguing semantics. In his apple example, he is just using a totally different definition of "have" than everyone else on the planet. What he seems to be saying essentially is that the number of things that exist is not zero.
Exactly. And even in real life having zero of something is possible, you can't just say zero doesn't exist and be like "ah yes, I have all the money in the world" because that's not helping anyone.. you NEED the term zero to describe what you do not have
the mistake he's making here (and the mistake a lot of pseudomathematicians who spew tripe like this in general are making) is literally not understanding what mathematics is. People like him think math has to be some kind of perfect fundamental representation of the "real" world, when really this is not what math has been about for over 500 years now, and essentially anything that can be rigorously defined in formal logic without contradicting itself is fair game in pure math, it doesn't have to have *anything* to do with "our" world, that's what physics is for. *Maybe* zero doesn't actually jive with how the physical universe works (although imo we probably don't actually know enough about physics currently to even say that for certain), but that's completely irrelevant to whether or not it is a valid mathematical concept, because math and physics are *two different things*
I've known people EXACTLY like him, has a basic level of understanding then their mind fills in the rest with what they believe,100% sure they know better than everyone on every subject yet they're wrong about everything, but so proud they literally believe their own batshit insane explanations because to them they HAVE to be right. Unsurprisingly the co-workers I've had like this were also flat earthers.
How to explain 0 to him: 1. Hire him for a movie. 2. Give his salary to his Co-star 3. Explain that he did not get 0 money..because his co-stars bank account is in the same universe.
@@julliangoosen5584 I'd agree that the rise of money had a lot to do with the rise of advanced math...even If I can't tell if the zero was not first some thought experiment before it was generally used because of enhanced trading activities. But 0 is as real as 1 or 4801. You can have 0 of something (may it be money or cattle or friends, or likes or reasons to do something or sexual experiences, or times you visited Rome...or more. So all numbers including Zero DO represent real concepts. So 0 IS a real number and math IS correct..while his view on math is..well how do I put it nicely...very wrong. And if you search for a math thing that only really makes sense with money or goods you still have NEGATIVE numbers...because UNLIKE 0 and all the positive numbers they do NOT represent a real life experience but an abstract thought.
@@dergutehut3961 I mean I’ll admit I’m not a mathematician so I can’t really say if he’s right or not, I think I’m just hopeful for a new discovery that is able to bring about change to our dull sad society. That said I can see how you’d be right about having nothing of something like money, or “times you’ve been to Rome” as you said. Those “ Real concepts” only apply to a human person in our society. It’s completely relative
@@julliangoosen5584 You don't need to be a mathematician for that. He just ignores how multiplication works..and than pretend that there is something wrong with it. No matter what reality you live in or what cultural context you have. 0 = 0 and 1x1 is NOT 2 but 1. As soon as you count things you have more than one. It has nothing to do if you are a human or if there is an observer or not. Those are NOT human concepts..they are descriptions of reality. It is a reality that there can be ZERO of something or 1 or 863. ALL NATURAL numbers and ZERO represent real live concepts. But there ARE numbers who don't..and that are NEGATIVE numbers...who only make sense as an abstract concept..but that doesn't make them wrong...or a scam..they still follow mathematical logic that is independent from context. And one thing can be said...if someone wants to ChANGE reality he can't deny it first.
The fact that he wants 1x1 to be 2 just shows idiocy. If you change the "times" of an equation to "groups of" would he understand how 1x1 cannot possibly be 2? 1 group of 1 object is 1 object. 2 groups of 2 things is 4 things. A 4 year old can understand this. Hell even a 2 year old.
A better visualization of multiplication is to use the actual word "times" 1x1 = One, one time 1x2 = One, two times 2x2 = Two, two times Maybe he needed a better pre-K teacher. Lol
What I want to know, is does he think 1×2 is 2? Because if he acknowledges 1×2 = 2, then I guess 1×1=1×2. If he claims 1×2 is more than 2, then...well, it will just leave me to the number he claims it is, and asking if 1 times that number equals that number. Because now we have a big problem lol.
The problem, it seems, is he tries to use pseudo-intellectual philosophical narratives. One times one is 2 because everything is connected. Then why isn't it 1*1=55 or even question the validity of any number. He's just of below average intelligence and idolized by others, making him think he is in the higher echelons of abstract thinking. To be fair, I like his writing style but the lack of references immediately shows a lack of academic experience. It would not be accepted in any scientific journal because he doesn't even adhere to core scientific principles (validity, reliability, transparency).
Also Terrence is wrong about his little bubble structure never being discovered before. It's a section of a tesselation of dodecahedrons. It can't exist (with straight lines) in Euclidean geometry. Weirdly enough, the structure _does_ work in _hyperbolic_ geometry, where it was discovered. I don't think Terry could have thought of that with his bendy bubble structure however, given he's shown us he doesn't know how multiplication works. The shape looks cool, though. I want one.
Also calculating and finding a new result that twice as more as old result doesn't increase the real world outcome. I think that's his reasoning on increasing efficiency in stuff.
@@BTTRSWYTyeah the only difference is that you can correct it in literally every statement and it agrees with your correction. But Terrence is on a different path😂

Charlie you missed the best part of how he scored this uganda gig in the first place, so his new scam to prove 1x1=2 was he ran this goofy drone design contest, where they all tried to get his weird shape flyable. The winner actually managed to make a neat looking drone that is wildly inefficient and slow, so in his mind that's proof his math is correct, despite all his contribution was is the shape, then the contestants actually had to do the work to make it actually fly.
He's the poster child for the Krueger-Dunning effect. He hasn't published anything in professional journals that have borne fruit, but insists through social media that he's a fricken genius.
Usually when someone makes a big ol’ blunder, I don’t like to call them “stupid,” because I know they probably just made a mistake. Terrance Howard is an exception. The proof for 1*1 is something you can teach a toddler. “I have a group of people I’m starting, but right now it’s just me. 1 group of 1 person. 1 times 1 = 1.”
No it’s really quite simple, 1*1=2 because everything adjacent is connected. Through the geometry and superposition of the hydrogen atom, its proton, which can and will bond to everything (I double checked on google its true). Here at Terr corp (I “work” for superstar terrance howard) we were able to isolate and stabilize the power of the hydrogen atom, its proton. We were able to reverse engineer this power in order to create new and astonishing quantum powered technology. What is it? You may ask. Yes, the power of the hydrogen atom, its proton, superposition, quantum field theory, and asking our mothers for help, all lead us to our new and incredible technological developments. If you’re still reading please send help terrance is forcing me to write this. Through this power which you may not believe, we have created new flight technologies that can fix 4 problems, drones, planes, helicopters, and the bounds of physics itself. Thats right, the power of the 4th dimension has been cracked through quantum computing (a GTX 760 and 4gb of ram). Our new mathematical equations for math itself, thats right we broke that to, dictate thermodynamics is dumb as hell. Thats right we solved that through time crytals built apon the power of hydrogen, its proton.

This was in the era where RDJ wasn’t as popular, and he himself was a very popular actor. In fact he did get paid a lot more than RDJ for the first movie. He really should have cut his losses for the second and third. If you’re not in as many scenes then you get paid less.
So what actually happened is that in Iron man Terrence made about between $3.5 and $4.5 million while Downey Jr. only made about $500,000. So when Iron Man 2 came around Downey Jr., Rightfully so, asked to get paid more money. He managed to get paid $10 million for Iron man 2. Terrence was supposed to be paid, and was told he was gonna get paid $8 million but, the money he was supposed to get from Iron Man 2 went into the $10 million they paid to Downey Jr. and he was offered $1 million instead of the $8 million he was told he was gonna be getting so he dipped. Basically, they over paid him for the first movie and then he was upset when he didn't get overpaid again.
Simple to prove 1 X 1 = 1, ha, ha :) 3 X 3 is 9 because you have three 3s (Hence the times), so with 1 X 1 you have one 1, same with 1 X 1 X 1 and so on like that :) And 0 is always going to be zero if you times it by other numbers, because it is nothing :) 2 X 2 is 4 which is not the same method as saying 2 + 2 equals 4 even though they both give you the same answer :)
My husband has a friend like this. I had brain melting conversation with him about how the sun is about the same size as earth, “just like moon”. He also doesnt believe light to be made of particles, because “photons are completely manmade concept”. Cool dude, just slightly.. out there, and always entertaining.
From what I've heard, the concept of Zero was the most important revolution of mathematics. Of course, it might have been eclipsed by this point by the many other math related things that have come up by this point, but seriously, the concept of nothing being included in math seems pretty big.
@@beanndog Most things understand the concept of zero, simply proven with a simple test. You put a living thing in a box, and give it zero food and water. It will understand that there is zero food and water, and die. Terryologist in shambles with this discovery.
It was important to people who knew how to rip off others and get rich off the poor, call them political leaders and the economic elite. Before zero existed everybody had something. And yes you did read that right I said before zero existed, it was never discovered how can you discover nothing? It was invented to rob you of everything you have. You all heard the expression YOU WILL HAVE NOTHING AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY.

he was that kid in highschool that failed every class but still somehow graduated on time with everyone else, without knowing a single thing he was in school for.
I always felt that one of his best roles was in Big Momma's House. I am not even kidding, it was like he stepped out of a thriller movie and he was absolutely terrifying, even critics that hated the movie praised his performance. Turns out he was hiding in plain sight.

Here's the thing: Math is a man-made concept used to quantify and understand things. I'm sure you could make a needlessly convoluted version that nobody needs, either philosophically or practically. But why would you? Also, it seems like he may not understand basic math on a fundamental level anyway. EDIT: Would like to clarify to some that I am not debating the objective physical reality of the universe. I'm simply saying our measuring of it, via mathematics, is built to suit our human reasoning, and could potentially be constructed/understood differently. I should say that - as it stands - the "invented vs. discovered" debate is largely philosophical and not really "winnable". So, feel free to share a different view, but there's no point in getting upset or whatever.
Yeah math is a tool. A tool is only as usefull as it is precise. And math is as precise as it gets. It's entire internally consistent and relies on a set of less than 10 fundamental axioms. When trying to disprove math, one needs to prove one of said axioms wrong. And no just saying that it's wrong, like what Terry is essentially doing but with a little bit of fluff, won't cut it.
Man-made concepts to quantify and understand what sort of things? Do these things actually exist in reality or not? These are not just man-made concepts but correspond with existing laws and principles in the universe.
@@NFStamper That's getting into a whole philosophical side of things that has been discussed in the past - in fact philosophy and math were once closely involved with each other. Do all of these concepts make sense in the real world? Can you have a negative number of something in nature? How does an imaginary number make sense? Again, these questions don't really matter, because it all works out in practice; but, none of it is truely the "law of the universe". The universe didn't come up with these concepts, we (humans) did to explain what we see in it. I guess that's an "intuitionist" view of it, but it makes sense to me (and again, it really doesn't matter; it's not an arguement against math, just a view on the nature of it). Now, if we ever encounter aliens that use the exact same systems/foundations (translated from alienese, of course), then that would be interesting.
@@cincymutt Agreed, its just our way to understand the Universe. Everything is true, until it isn't, and we will try make it make sense again...and the cycle repeats.
This actually might not be true. Due to the universe running on what seems to be pure math; there is an argument to be made that math was discovered rather than invented.
My boss was talking about paperwork where he has to do a total, a addition for each column twice. And I for real thought he was busting out quantum addition where every number can be a one and a zero so you would have to do it twice, but it turned out that there were just duplicate columns for different mixes of product.
Had an old friend do something like this, except they argued humans could live forever if they ate right and had the right environment. They full heartedly believed it n spent like an hour arguing with me.
What he's describing is an actual biological trait called 'negligible senescence', where an organism simply doesn't exhibit symptoms of aging we see in everything else. So these creatures typically only die through violence, starvation, illness, stress, etc. SO, theoretically, in a perfect environment these creatures could be thought of as, as close to immortal as things likely can get. Lobsters and crocodilians are two such examples- if they have an actual finite limit to their longevity, we haven't found it. Modern crocs tend to die once they grow past 25 feet long, because they can't find enough food to sustain themselves. Lobsters run into similar problems after they grow to be about 10 feet long.
The way multiplication can make sense to anyone, even Terrence Howard, is this: Count to "one" 1 time. How much is that? Should be one. Count to "three" two times. (Count on both hands if you must.) How much is that all together? Should be six. Count to "five" three times. How much is that? 15. Multiplication is just adding a number to itself [x] amount of times. 1 × 1 = 1 because you're counting to one once.
math is a complicated topic. the best way i can put it is that math is the study of relationships between patterns. The strongest examples i can think of are imaginary numbers and cesaro sums; stuff like derivatives of imaginary functions and 1+ 1 - 1 + 1 = -1/12 are almost completely nonsensical to any real application, however, the patterns that are used to find the relationships have been found to be useful to prove other mathematical fields. It is important to note that most if not the vast majority of the discoveries in math are either completely unusable or we haven't found a use case for it. Until it can be used its under the standard of the most reasonable explanation. Im not defending Terrence's proofs. Im simply stating that math is more abstract than your definition implies and that a lot of great mathematicians have been able to see a pattern that barely exists or a pattern they couldn't yet prove that was contradictory to academic consensus and ultimately shaped the entire field. The best analogy i can make is that: math is an infinitely large box of legos that have been dumped in front of you and that you are trying to put the legos together to make the complete structure without knowing what the final object looks like. You try to group pieces by size, color, and whatever other properties you can think of, then come up with the most reasonable laws that you can come up with like the majority of blocks will be in the same direction. You will think that some pieces belong with others and then find a group that better suits it until even the ones with the most obvious functions like the two parts of a legoman will sometimes give you doubt. Mathematics are the result of mysterious powers which no one understands, and which the unconscious recognition of beauty must play an important part. Out of an infinity of designs a mathematician chooses one pattern for beauty’s sake and pulls it down to earth. - Marston Morse, an American mathematician
@@sugarblue7571 No. Maths is not “more abstract” than what the OP implies. He’s explaining rudimentary maths, maths that aren’t theoretical but proven fact because we can physically observe it.

The ability to calculate enormous numbers faster wouldn’t have an effect on prediction models? Don’t pretend to be fascinated by the “mystery” with a quote from a mathematician clearly reminiscing on his career and not even understand why people dedicate their lives to it 😂 People enjoy making things they can use, and Terrence’s math is completely useless.
I'm sure Terrence has a ton of notebooks full of notes, scribbles and doodles in his closet at home, of which none of it will make sense to anyone but himself.
That and I don’t think he understands that fractions and decimals exist. He be rounding zero too one, and rounding square root of two to one… no one mention negative numbers to him.
How crazy would it be if in 2 years a satirical movie was released in documentary style that's made up of Terrance dropping this mad logic and it was actually all part of an elaborate script utilizing real life people and interactions as the actual scenes of the movie AND IT TURNS OUT GOOD I'd be blown away, THAT would be proof that Terrance is genius
"The square root of 2 should be one, but we're told it's two, which cannot be." I agree with him on the point that the square root of 2 can't be two, but whoever "told" him that it was two? Does he exist in some kind of alternate universe where there are only whole numbers? I mean, I suck at math, but this guy sucks at logic and basic understanding of everything.
So I tutored lately a lot of students in mathematics lately. This guy beats every single one of them in sheer number of mistakes. Even combined they were smarter than this guy.
I love the confused looks people get when Terrance starts talking about his pet hypothesis. It’s like the people aren’t sure if they are being pranked or not… then they start to realize this is no joke and you can see the depression start to sink in lol
3:13 "This is the geometry of hydrogen." Bro, hydrogen is literally just one proton and one electron. What kind of special or new geometry do you think it has?
sqrt(2) is 2. There, now you've heard me say it. But he also seems to be aware that sqrt(2) is an irrational number. The problem for him is that 2 is not an irrational number, so I think he needs to cut cables another 17 hours before he can become master of the universe.
