SCP-033 - The Missing Number (SCP Animation)

SCP 033 is a Euclid Class anomaly also known as The Missing Number.

SCP-033 appears as a field of complex mathematical symbols ranging from simple layman-identifiable representations to those only interpretable by highly-trained mathematicians.
As all modern mathematical calculations are performed lacking the knowledge or use of SCP033, its introduction into any system organized without it begins eroding the numerical and eventually structural integrity of said system. This effect extends to SCP-033's transfer to any paper-like (defined as paper, vellum, papyrus, canvas) surface not possessing 033-Safe dimensions or any computing or recording device it is input into. If inscribed on any other material, SCP-033 fades into unintelligibility in precisely 2560 seconds. In addition, SCP-033 has shown an ability to "leap" from an 033-Safe material to a manufactured or electronic material which it can destabilize in at least one (1) instance (Incident report 033-D), requiring the institution of a 30 meter safe distance for electronic devices and paper-like products without 033-Safe dimensions.

"disintegrates anything it is written on"
_shouting_ *TO THE LIZARD*

[sinned]

Irrational and imaginary numbers: “I just blew their minds.”

SCP033: “hold my beer”

[catur_a.C]

Fun fact, there is an actual mathematical paradox that consists of this. There are numbers currently not named, but the moment u name one of those it will automatically lose that property and another number from the absolute infinite will take it's place. Kinda like the Wikipedia paradox.

[thelessons]

1) split the formula into quadrants
2) record and display each quadrant on separate mediums
3) keep said mediums 30 meters apart
4) always have the pieces of the equation in four separate locations
5) profit

My favourite part of this SCP in the broader canon is that the Scarlet King is described as a “Theta prime”-dimensional entity in some tales

[TheCosmicFreeway]

I love the reality-warping SCP stories that make you question stuff even in the real world...

[LilE]

I hadn't finished watching when I was like "They're gonna make a D-class vanish by writing it on them". Surprised that test never come to be.

[ub-austin]

Huh. So that’s why my Pokémon Blue cartridge disintegrated.

[werewolfgirl]

I'm surprised the Foundation has never tried to write the equation on a D-class personnel. That seems like something they would do.

[Dudethatdoesstuff]

Hunter: imagine a number that does not exist

Me: negative 0

[Saif-geet]

5:01 Someone should give this security guard a promotion for participating in every single mission that requires armed personnel the SCP foundation has ever made

[furrysunny]

You know, what I wonder?
Maybe SCP-033 isn't just the only forgotten number, but maybe the only known one of infinite numbers we forgot.

[entropyapathy]

"Hey, Patrick I thought of something funnier than 24.”
“What"
SCP Foundation:

[AexisRai]

0:38 "the mathematicians among you will understand that numbers... are not a metaphysical aspect of reality"
platonists: "hold up"

[jacobc]

In order to weaponize the equation, you'll want to put 2 parts on seperate specialized stamps, and then use both on the target, while aligning them perfectly.

[SuperAnimeFever]

Im surprised that people dont slowly disintegrate after researching this scp. After all the equation is in their memories while they work on it.

[DrMutran]

An SCP that represents the most horrifying thing in the world. MATH!!

[ThatSoddingGamer]

Imagine if this missing number, if somehow plugged into equations detailing how the universe worked, revealed the missing information needed to make the Standard Model complete, or something like that? Like, the standard model works, but it's like a puzzle with bits missing. It makes sense, it's useful for explaining things, but it's not entirely complete either.

[oobtty]

Theory: Since different universes have different physics, it's possible that if you invented math in another universe with different physics, you'd end up with different numbers, formulas, equations, etc. Im thinking that SCP-033 is from a universe with different physics where the mystery number in question DOES exist. But, some extradimensional wacko brough the equation to the SCP Universe, and since the equation is incompatible there, attempting to apply it or inscribe it somewhere causes violent, anomalous reactions.
