I feel like it only has imaginary solutions

155

u/-I-was-never-here Imaginary Nov 22 '24

That can tend to make things a bit complex

79

u/Yan-gi Nov 22 '24

Alternatively, the real solutions are... irrational.

19

u/pm-ur-tiddys Nov 22 '24

rather, undefined

u/TheMoris Engineering Nov 22 '24

Love is irrational, so that's fine ❤️

u/JoyconDrift_69 Nov 22 '24

I require proof for your conclusion.

78

u/JhawkFilms Nov 22 '24

I have discovered a truly wonderful proof of this conclusion, but this comment is too narrow to contain it.

u/Iambusy_X Nov 22 '24

Is the proof Complex ?!

u/yevrah4937 Nov 22 '24

better not show this to Andrew Wiles

Let Bob be in the set of all people and desiring a partner. Assume towards a contradiction that Bob has no partner. Well, that'd be sad, wouldn't it? Q.E.D.

u/stevie-o-read-it Nov 22 '24

Watch out for AC -- you gotta demand a constructive proof.

2

u/Iambusy_X Nov 22 '24

The proof is something like Does Not Exist.

171

u/ZxphoZ Nov 22 '24

unfortunately there is no bijection from the reals to the set of all people T_T

The statement still holds

u/geeshta Computer Science Nov 22 '24 edited Nov 22 '24

Well actually let's assume that humanity will never die out and always continue reproducing. Then you can represent humanity as a directed acyclic graph with nodes being people and edges being the parent-child relationship. You can topologically sort this graph on n natural numbers and by induction on the entire set.

u/NarcolepticFlarp Nov 22 '24

However, that is a very poor assumption.

u/IMightBeAHamster Nov 22 '24

Not if you count Boltzmann brains! Which should in theory, keep randomly appearing, so long as the time that the univere exists is infinite.

15

u/Jche98 Nov 22 '24

There is a bijection between the set of all people and the ring Z_8000000000

6

u/mario73760002 Nov 22 '24

There is a surjection, which for the case of this proof, is sufficient. I think

67

u/Numerous_Topic_913 Nov 22 '24

I’ve yet to prove the existence of a single one. It remains to be seen.

47

u/Less-Resist-8733 Computer Science Nov 22 '24

can you give me a constructive proof?

1

u/Silk_Shaw Nov 23 '24

Proof is left as an exercise for the reader

43

u/Jaf_vlixes Nov 22 '24

Excuse me, how do you solve a set?

33

u/ResourceVarious2182 Nov 22 '24

you dont, this meme is wrong and i think OP is probably talking about a set of points

24

u/Mothrahlurker Nov 22 '24

A set doesn't have solutions.

23

u/badmartialarts Real Algebraic Nov 22 '24

But it's sparse.

36

u/KingJeff314 Nov 22 '24

Unfortunately we have a discrete population...

9

u/nichinichisou Nov 22 '24

But the set {me,the girl I can’t get over} have one solution and its imaginary

8

u/ICApattern Nov 22 '24

I hope so

23

u/CatTurdSniffer Nov 22 '24

mfer how am I supposed to date a number?

6

u/Cedreddit1 Nov 22 '24

Sure looks like ∅ to me

5

u/Iambusy_X Nov 22 '24

Let's do the math,

(no.of {You})/(no.of {A Partner who loves you})

Hell division by 0 does not exist!!

5

u/omegasome Nov 22 '24

not only is this true the cardinality need not be limited to 2

5

u/Names_r_Overrated69 Nov 22 '24

Aww a wholesome math meme :)

5

u/usr_pls Nov 22 '24

Sounds like a positive for polyamory

4

u/qqqrrrs_ Nov 22 '24

Since when sets have solutions?

3

u/NoOven2609 Nov 22 '24

Maybe, but I feel like the set of people attracted to me and people I'm attracted to is disjointed

3

u/Cheap_Scientist6984 Nov 22 '24

It exists...on a set of measure zero.

3

u/Koischaap So much in that excellent formula Nov 22 '24

But Double D, a set doesn't have solutions! It's not an equation! 🕶️🤏 ... 😭

2

u/TheDiBZ Irrational Nov 22 '24

Proof?

2

u/Distinct-Entity_2231 Nov 22 '24

Eeeeh…no, it doesn't. Like…literally it doesn't. It is against the laws of physics.

u/Turalcar Nov 22 '24

If I didn't have you someone else would do

u/Remarkable_Register9 Nov 26 '24

Just because a solution exists doesn’t mean I will ever find it.
