Terryology is A JOKE! I Proved Terrence Howard WRONG

Terrence Howard, known for his acting roles in popular films like "Iron Man," has developed his own unconventional theories about mathematics. He calls his theory "Terryology," I know, and it revolves around his belief that 1 x 1 = 2, rather than 1, as is universally accepted in mathematics.
Here are some key points about Terrence Howard's mathematical ideas:
1. Howard argues that the current understanding of multiplication is flawed. He claims that 1 x 1 should equal 2 because, in his view, the square root of 4 is 2, and the square root of 2 is 1.
2. He has developed a "proof" for his claim using plastic shapes he calls "Terryhedrons," which he believes demonstrate his theory.
3. Howard has stated that he wants to "reeducate the world" about mathematics and that he plans to publish a book detailing his ideas.
4. He claims that his theory has applications in various fields, including space travel and energy production.
It's important to note that Howard's views on mathematics are not accepted by the scientific community. His claims go against fundamental principles that have been rigorously proven and applied successfully for centuries.
Despite the lack of scientific support, Howard remains passionate about his ideas and continues to promote them through interviews such as with Joe Rogan, and social media. Let's keep in mind that his theory has garnered attention primarily due to his celebrity status rather than any scientific merit.

From a psychological stand point, this is the results of an extremely narcissistic mind I mean, he called his new mathematics after himself, and my guess would be that this entire study is probably motivated by social cognition.

I want to focus on two fundamental fallacies within his theory. One is the core foundation 1x1 equals 2. That's the "what". Once we destroy that, I'll show you something he said, a specific word which revealed it all. That's the "why".

So His problem may appear mathematical at first but the reality is that the core of his discussion is with language not with maths . The surrounding discussion is instead mostly philosophical, as I'll demonstrate in the latter section
But let's beging with the logics of it.

Logically the 1x1=1 isn't a problem at all.There is no logical fallacy within this operation. You see the second integer, 1 doesn't represent a different number nor entity, it represents the self. If you try and multiply 1 by well itself, which is the logics behind this operation, it doesn't add anything because there is no second element nor anything separate is being added to it. In this specific case, this is a mirror. Instead, he sees this second element described as 1 as a separate entity. It isn't. And I can't believe I have to say this but this isn't an addition.

But since all we are talking about now is indeed maths, how is this a linguistic problem?

He is fixating on the meaning of the word to multiply, upon which he builds the rest of his theory.

Thing is thought,this doesn't fail to satiffy the term multiply because in mathematics, differently from in general use, the verb to multipy has a very specific meaning which denotes an exact operation. It does not have the broader meaning you ascribe to it which is the usage in a general sense of the term.

What this man is failing to understand due to the fact that he has no linguistic training, is that words do not just have one single meaning attached to them. He expects that single meaning ascribed to "multiply" to carry over and fit perfectly every comunicative case. The reason why that is an inappropriate and inaccurate statements/expectation is because of the existence in languages of the category of words called "polysemic". Multiply is a polysemic word.

A polysemic word is a lexical item that possesses multiple distinct, yet related meanings or semantic variants. Polysemic words exhibit a phenomenon in which a single linguistic form is associated with several interrelated senses or interpretations.
The semantic variations of a polysemic word often arise through cognitive processes such as metaphorical extension, metonymy, or specialization of meaning. These processes allow the word to acquire new senses while retaining a connection to its original or core meaning. The relationships between the different senses of a polysemic word can be based on various factors, including similarity, contiguity, or functional association.

"Am I a recovering alcoholic or am I afraid of ghosts?"

Somehow I enjoy this very much.

[TetsuShima]

Now I get why Howard was replaced by Don Cheadle in the MCU. He constantly complained about Tony's armor not being scientifically accurate according to his irrefutable research 😂😂😂

[fattiger]

Terrance really took it hard when he was replaced in Iron Man...

[lornenoland]

Somebody showed him a party math trick and bro thought he’d unlocked a secret to the universe

[Rogdub]

i like howard's concept of 0. if i take all his money, then he still has all his money and can't sue me for theft.

"2+2=6
There are two twos so there is an aditional two that NO ONE TALKS ABOUT CUS THE GOVERNMEN-"
Terryology is giving me these vibes lol

"In May 2024, Howard was a guest at The Joe Rogan Experience, where he attempted to debunk the Pythagorean theorem, claimed he can kill gravity, said he does not believe in the number zero, and claimed he remembers the events of the day he was born" may be the funniest sentence on all of Wikipedia

[SoldierSpiderx]

He never recovered from Robert Downey Jr getting all the fame from Ironman.

"And I can't believe I have to say this..."

A statement made in every rebuttal of Terence Howard that I have seen in the past 4 weeks.

[Shrapnel]

I was hoping that at the end of the calculator segment, he told everyone, "Now, hit Enter. Hold it upside down. What do you see? It spells 'Boobs'. Thank you, I'll be here all week."

[MrDawnRise]

No math knowledge x No linguistic knowledge = Terryology

[Vandrock]

To be fair 'proving him wrong' is like proving water is 'wet'...

[ultraknight]

I remember in primary school, I was taught that multiplication using terms like groups.

You have 2 groups of 2 apples. How many apples do you have in total? Awnser 4 apples.

Now, if I were to write this sentence as 1*1, it would be: you have one group of one apple. How many apples do you have?

That guy just proved why those long wordy questions in math are actually important.

I always have one thing in mind about actors - when they don't have a script, even the likable ones sometimes turn out to be incredibly dumb.

[paultkalec]

When I was a kid, we learned that the multiplication symbol could be replaced with the word “of”. Therefore, 1x1 can be explained as 1 of 1. 1x2 can be explained as 1 of 2, etc, etc…… it’s elementary.

If Archimedes used Terryology to try to frustrate the Romans, Syracuse would have fallen in 1 day.

[chehalem]

Ok, so let me get this straight - if I take money from Terry's bank account and use it to buy a car, I haven't stolen the money, because the car is still his because it is in the same universe, so it is ok for me to drive it whenever I want.
Hey, everyone! Drinks are on Terry!

The more I hear from Terrance Howard, the more I realize why the MCU dumped him for Don Cheadle
