i have no idea what just happened

i got so into this, that by the end of it, i found myself leaning in so far that my nose was about 3" from the screen... in other words, this total distance is the direct antithesis as to the 5 unequal portions of my nose in it's entirity; hence, i found Magnetic Zero(Mz) to be Mz= 4.531 you may question, but not only did i double check my numbers, but once i determined what Mz was, i was able to input it into the original equation, which proved the solution accurate.

Quantum Physics, everything is nothing and nothing is everything. I forget the sciencist but this part of some uniform theoryof the universe.

Strong Nuclear Force, Weak Nuclear Force, Electromagnetism, Gravity.. When they come together it will be called The Theory Of Alexander.

I tried really hard to understand these and after serveral times of watching I realize you have to either be in Alex's state or Alex.

@wackinstack Alex admits he hasn't done it completely right and has forgotten some rules and such. So I don't think anyone can really get it unless they already knew what he was talking about. . I can see sort of where he's going with it. Whether or not it is actually mathematically correct is suspect. But it may still work as a set of random rules created to manipulate numbers. From the little bits that I THINK I understood, it seems pretty neat.

Either that guy is terrible at math or I am. Either he or I have no idea what's going on.

While it seems to lacks application and doesn't appear to have been derived from observation, it makes total sense actually. And besides, we merely got a glimpse in the conversation. From what the video shows, though, it's simply a mathematical puzzle. I think the real problem is not how unconventional or childlike this is, but really why the interviewer is so obviously sarcastic and belittling and why he feels compelled to puff up his own ego by subtly putting others down. What a jerk.

Alex is doing a piss poor job of explaining his theory though it is incredibly simple. What he is trying to say is something like this. lest say that instead of zero being nothing or the absence of something, lets pretend that something is there, and that something has a value. In his example he used 8 but lets use 10 because that is much easier. So this "Something" has a "power" or "force" to pull things toward it. So lets say you have an equation. 10+10=20. But this something sitting at zero has a "force" to pull things pack toward it 10 spaces. So you have to subtract 10 from the equations answer to account for the force of the thing acting at point zero. So the answer would actually be 10 and not twenty. Lets say the "something" at zero has a value of 5 then the answer would be 15 because 10+10-5=15. If the thing that is sitting at zero has a power of 50 then the answer would be -30 because 10+10-50=-30. Pretty simple huh. Now. What in the world could possibly be an application for this? I thought about this for a while and I think it actually does have a real application. Lets just pretend for a moment that we are living in a universe where planets are giant spheres moving through empty space and the universe is made up of mostly empty space. This is just speculation, of course. Now lets say you are on a space ship moving through this empty space toward another planet. Then you pass a little too close to a black whole, a thing that has this amazing gravitational force to pull things toward it. Suddenly your ship starts to slow down because of the pull of this black whole. We can effectively calculate the effect of the black hole on your momentum with Alex's theory. The black whole is sitting at zero. Lets say the black hole has a "pull" of 100. This is Alex's "magnetic zero". You were traveling through space with your thrusters set at a speed of 50, for simplicities sake we will just use miles per hour, 50 mph. The black hole is pulling you toward it at 100 mph. So now you are moving backwards at 50 mph. So you throw on your super thrusters. This gives you an additional 25 mph. So now you are only traveling toward the black hole at 25 mph instead of the original 50. This is Alex's formula, set zero to 100. You have 50 mph + 25 mph = 75 but then you have to subtract the 100 because of the "thing" sitting at zero. So the answer is actually -25. You are now moving away from your destination at 25 mph because of this darn "thing" sitting at zero. So, anyways, these super thrusters buy you some time to think. You're like "dang, I'm gonna be sucked into this black hole thing. I don't wanna find out what's on the other side." Then it occurs to you. This thing is pulling me at 100 and my thrusters are at 50 and my super thrusters give me an additional 25. If I spin this ship around and add my thrusters to this things pulling force then I am moving at 175. This might give me enough momentum to actually speed by this thing instead of getting sucked into it and thereby escape its pull. So this is Alex's "magnetic zero". He's like "Hey, lets stick a magnet here at where zero is on this line and see how its pull will effect these ummm.. equations?" I can imagine Alex was probably pretty blown on something like heroin or bath salts or something or other when this amazing epiphany hit him and he saw this perfect image of how this idea will eventually one day save the human race so he rushed to write it down in his spaced out state. Then when he came to and read what he wrote was like, "Magnetic zero's? Yeah, I remember that was important but... why?" Oh well, I guess we are all going to have to wait a little longer for nirvana.

This actually makes a lot of sense. Thank you.

So “magnetic 0” is assigned a number value, and whatever that number value is, in doing addition at least, you just do the addition the subtract by the value of “magnetic 0” + 1. +1 to account for the place of 0. So magnetic zero is any # + 1. This is dumb. And you can literally make this shit up in myriad ways, make 1 = 3, make every 10 add 5. This guy just made up a math problem, and some handful of people seem to be taking it seriously. This seems more like something a person trying to be quirky and secretly genius would do. I used to have these two friends, one would claim the other was always working on this secret physics equations that is so brilliant and complex that only NASA could understand it, the math genius friend would always say “oh you probably wouldn’t understand it” as an excuse to never tell me anything about it. Years later, I realized these two guys were 21 years old and I was 13, and we were pretty good friends. What kind of lame ass morons at age 21 hang out with 13 year olds? The same kind who pretend to be mathematical gods. Magnetic zero seems like some shit the mathematical genius friend of mine would have said.
