Den meisten ist das zwar egal, doch die Wurzel aus 2 ist irrational und vielleicht braucht man das auch nur selten, doch dieser Satz wird immer gelten. Die Wurzel aus 2 ist so definiert, dass sie 2 ergibt, wenn man sie quadriert. Wäre sie rational, gäbe es irgendeinen Bruch, der dann auch diese Gleichung erfüllen muss und jetzt sagen wir mal, dass wenn der Bruch gekürzt ist, im Zähler ein p und im Nenner ein q ist. Gekürzt heißt für q und p, dass ich da keinen gemeinsamen Teiler seh.

Den meisten ist das zwar egal, doch die Wurzel aus 2 ist irrational und vielleicht braucht man das auch nur selten, doch dieser Satz wird immer gelten. Wird jetzt erstmal der Bruch quadriert und q² dann multipliziert, wird q^2 mal 2 genommen und schon ist man zu p^2 gekommen. Also heißt das dann für p², dass es immer die 2 als Teiler hat und wenn die 2 ein Teiler von p² ist, heißt das auch, dass die 2 ein Teiler von p ist, demnach gibt es ne natürliche Zahl, die mal 2 genommen p ist - nennen wir sie a .... + Informações

Professor Dan Ariely visits Google's Mountain View, CA headquarters to discuss his book "Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions." This event took place on July 1, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series. In a series of illuminating, often surprising experiments, MIT behavioral economist Dan Ariely refutes the common assumption that we behave in fundamentally rational ways. Blending everyday experience with groundbreaking research, Ariely explains how expectations, emotions, social norms, and other invisible, seemingly illogical forces skew our reasoning abilities. Not only do we make astonishingly simple mistakes every day, but we make the same types of mistakes, Ariely discovers. We consistently overpay, underestimate, and procrastinate. We fail to understand the profound effects of our emotions on what we want, and we overvalue what we already own. Yet these misguided behaviors are neither random nor senseless. They're systematic and predictable?making us predictably irrational. Dan Ariely is the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Behavioral Economics at MIT, where he holds a joint appointment between MIT's Media Laboratory and the Sloan School of Management.
