[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0jj21uYShZBj/en/1-1-and-the-square-root-of-2-a-calculator-debate?t=4) One times one is one. To multiply means to do what?

[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0jj21uYShZBj/en/1-1-and-the-square-root-of-2-a-calculator-debate?t=8) To make more, right? Yeah. How can one times one equaling one be part of the multiplication table?

[0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0jj21uYShZBj/en/1-1-and-the-square-root-of-2-a-calculator-debate?t=15) It doesn't multiply. Is it me, or did that just make sense?

[0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0jj21uYShZBj/en/1-1-and-the-square-root-of-2-a-calculator-debate?t=19) Okay, go to your calculator. Turn it to the side.

[0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0jj21uYShZBj/en/1-1-and-the-square-root-of-2-a-calculator-debate?t=22) Okay. Go to the square root. 1.41421356- Yeah ... 2373095. Holy crap.

[0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0jj21uYShZBj/en/1-1-and-the-square-root-of-2-a-calculator-debate?t=27) Now I want you two to do two separate things now.

[0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0jj21uYShZBj/en/1-1-and-the-square-root-of-2-a-calculator-debate?t=30) I want you to multiply it by two. Hit times two.

[0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0jj21uYShZBj/en/1-1-and-the-square-root-of-2-a-calculator-debate?t=33) And I want you to hit X to the third. All right, 2.82- 2.8284271 21746190, the same value you got by multiplying it by two.

[0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0jj21uYShZBj/en/1-1-and-the-square-root-of-2-a-calculator-debate?t=43) Yeah. And he just cubed it. Divide it by two, hit equal. Cube it again.

[0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0jj21uYShZBj/en/1-1-and-the-square-root-of-2-a-calculator-debate?t=47) Hit X to the third. You see that loop? Yeah.

[0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0jj21uYShZBj/en/1-1-and-the-square-root-of-2-a-calculator-debate?t=49) That's saying X cubed is equal to 2X, which is equal to X plus X. That's an unnatural equation.

[0:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0jj21uYShZBj/en/1-1-and-the-square-root-of-2-a-calculator-debate?t=55) That's a mathematical fallacy, and that's the beginning of your math. You're mad.

[1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/0jj21uYShZBj/en/1-1-and-the-square-root-of-2-a-calculator-debate?t=60) Someone programmed that lie in there and lied to you and you and everyone, and all your fundamentals are off.
