We are going to have some fun with a little piece of half baked arithmetic. We are going to prove that the natural logarithm of -1 = 0. Ready? Here we go.
( -1 ) x ( -1 ) = 1
Ln[ ( -1 ) x ( -1 ) ] = Ln( 1 )
Ln( -1 ) + Ln( -1 ) = Ln( 1 ) ......... since Ln( AB ) = Ln( A ) + Ln( B )
2 x Ln( -1 ) = Ln( 1 )
2 x Ln( -1 ) = 0
Ln( -1 ) = 0 ....... QED .......... ......
