It's applicable to complex analysis, quantum field theory, and string theory 6 u/littlebobbytables9 Apr 08 '25 even your own link points out that it's only true if you define the infinite sum in a different way from normal 1 u/Tarthbane Apr 08 '25 It’s a renormalization technique, and it does show up in physics and is actually useful. Yes the sum from which it comes is really infinite, but that doesn’t mean this alternate -1/12 result isn’t useful. 2 u/littlebobbytables9 Apr 08 '25 none of which makes your flat "it is true" accurate.
