Impossible Math Question?

I have a question. I guess its Math but it could be Science also.

What number + 1/2 would equal itself again?

(not half of itself, just 1/2)

If not number, then maybe what element + half of itself would = itself?

I probably worded the above wrong or something but anything closely related to this question would help greatly.

In user " ausar's" worlds:
"it would have to be a constant; and it would have to be an element that is not deconstituted in the process of addition and equation."

I cant give any details as to why this is important, but just know that if you can answer it something good is bound to come out of it.

Zero.


or 1/2 less than Zero. If that makes it more fun.

Is this in terms of density?
or composition??

is there a time frame to this equation?
At a guess if you added a radioactive isotope to itself and waited for its half life to decay it eventually would equal itself again....since you did say "element" and there is no time factor for completion of the equation then I think that fits the requirements you state.

I will be more serious and help further. A Vacuum. Not the kind your Mom uses.

All the best to you,,,,,Wildmanimal

i like wilds answer[s]

Take nothing, add 1/2 of nothing (nothing) to it, and you still have nothing.
Hope this helps?

Yes, ,,,,That is exactly wrong.

But, in our enviroment, (sp.) It works exceptionally well.

By The way,,,Dyson,Oreck,and Electrolux have made a fortune with this concept.

Zero.

Indeed. Not really a tough question, and the answer is itself very obvious.

0 + (0/2) = 0

Ok i see where i worded this all wrong.

You take "something", add 1/2 to it, and then that would = the same something.

Is there anything like that?

I didnt mean 1/2 of itself, sorry.

So, theoretically:

What could subtract itself to equal 1/2(1/2 could be anything except for nothing and/or itself).

Sorry if a blew up any brains out there

6 + 1/2 ( half of 6 is 3)
6 + 3 = 9.
which is 6 upside down

Anything subtract itself equals zero. Are you joking with us?

I'm confused.

Trying to get the ole perpetual motion machine going, eh?

Zero still works. 0 - 1/2(0) = 0
Or my username lol ZodiakZero - Zodiak = Zero

Or infinity? Half of infinity is still infinity.

LOL.....

It may sound stupid that you might be onto something but i honestly think you are. Whats scary is that the number 9 and 0 both have something to do with what im trying to figure out.

Did you know?
If you merge a 9 and a 6 together they could make a yin-yang

Now if i just move the flux capacitor 2 milimeters and adjust the readings of the Gyroscapic paradigm reader i might be able to...

By god i think i've done it!

6 + 1/2 = 6 1/2
6 (1/2) = 3

Beginners Algebra anyone?
