This is the format for the lecture... in a broad form:
1)The groundwork;
Number Theory and its reaches into every branch of Science...[this should be easy to see by almost everyone so it will be kept short, but emphasis is on just how far the problem has advanced,and so why an error in this, the most basic tool of learning, will impact everything else.
2)Number Analysis;
What numbers ARE and what they SHOULD be used for, as opposed to what they are currently used for...this will deal with the irrationality of irrational numbers, as well as the 'cases' where negative numbers can be "used", and why even then some applications currently attributed to these numbers should not be so used.
3) History of Number Theory;
This deals more with the growth of the "philosophy" behind the theory of numbers, and how this mindset helped veer numbers from a once practical to a more abstract 'art', and the impact of THAT on everything else that is learnt,and has to do with numbers...which is basically EVERYTHING.
4)Number "ENGINEERING";
Current use of numbers, and the impact of 3) on this, and so, the REAL problem that makes
a) algebra
b) trigonometry
c) mechanics
d) quantum theory
e) phase equilibria
f) thermodynamics
g) calculus et.c.
impractical and VERY flawed.
It is easy to pinpoint a problem, but quite another to find the solution, so this is what I will do as well; with every problem there will be a solution, and the only requirement is that, once every solution is validated, no delay should be made in implementing it, as I have an interest in quickly publishing the book, COUNT1NG NUMB3R5 so I can move on to more practical matters in HISTORY.
That is, basically, it, in a nutshell, but I surmise that this may take a few months to implement, and I am prepared to revise my earlier estimate of merely "six weeks" since every indication has led me to realise that I will have to get very much in-depth with each issue, as things which seem obvious to me have to be systematically explained to everyone else... in detail.
It will take as long as it takes, and I will do it only once, and will only move on when EVERYTHING has been fully, exhaustively, covered, so I will not have to do it again.
Which is why,for my pains, I charged US$200m...
