N equals N plus one

Theorem: n=n+1
Proof:
(n+1)^2 = n^2 + 2*n + 1
Bring 2n+1 to the left:
(n+1)^2 - (2n+1) = n^2
Substract n(2n+1) from both sides and factoring, we have:
(n+1)^2 - (n+1)(2n+1) = n^2 - n(2n+1)
Adding 1/4(2n+1)^2 to both sides yields:
(n+1)^2 - (n+1)(2n+1) + 1/4(2n+1)^2 = n^2 - n(2n+1) + 1/4(2n+1)^2
This may be written:
[ (n+1) - 1/2(2n+1) ]^2 = [ n - 1/2(2n+1) ]^2
Taking the square roots of both sides:
(n+1) - 1/2(2n+1) = n - 1/2(2n+1)
Add 1/2(2n+1) to both sides:
n+1 = n -

According to my friend, who is in the International Maths Olympiad squad of Singapore, the problem lies with these 2 lines.Originally posted by eagle:This may be written:
[ (n+1) - 1/2(2n+1) ]^2 = [ n - 1/2(2n+1) ]^2
Taking the square roots of both sides:
(n+1) - 1/2(2n+1) = n - 1/2(2n+1)
The first of these 2 is correct. However, the problem is when you try to square root both sides. On the surface, the operation looks valid. However, on the right, the expression can be rewritten as:
n - 1/2(2n+1) = n - 1/2*2n - 1/2 = n - n -1/2 = -1/2.
Since the square root of any negative number of undefined, the proof is thus rendered invalid.
The fallacy is not easy to spot.

Hey dudes relax.
This is not even a joke in the first place (Hmmm wrong forum).
This just deals with fallacies, like the following argument:
"God can do everything. Can God create a stone he cannot lift? If there's a stone he cannot lift, he cannot do everything. However, if he cannot create the stone, that means he cannot do everything either."
It's along those lines.
Whatever. If these are too confusing then just ignore it.
Just some random musings... -
