Hi mister, if I am not mistaken, it is dangerous to play with infinite series in this way - unless you are joking. It is there are several unsafe steps in this pic.
3. In the "equation 2" part, the leading term of 1/epsilon^2 is clearly exploding to infinity, while the large blob on the right of it is 1.
Epsilon is a finite number that will goes to infinitely small in the end if it were to be equal to the original series.
No.. I never claimed it was equivalent. I said that -1/12 is the renormalized sum
Wait a minute, "renormalized" reminds me of the procedure in QED in which 2 infinite series somewhat summed together and produced something non-nonsense and somehow it agrees with experiment. Mister, you probably are talking about rtecenormalization procedure here?
That's why I called it renormalization...
