Abstract


For centuries ago, we have been made to learn and understand a kind of too abstract mathematics which diverges from practice and nature. In nature as well as in practice, no number smaller than 0 (<0) can be found, but in “Mathematics” we are taught to accept and understand so many things smaller than 0 (<0). For example, there are such values as (0 > –1 > –2 > –3 > … > –∞). Due to Mathematics’ heavy abstraction, it forces us to use absolute value (| |), which is like a witchcraft capable of transforming negative values (–) smaller than zero (– < 0) into positive values greater than zero (+ > 0). This paper identifies some Fundamental Paradox of Mathematics about negative value which is smaller than 0 (– < 0).
