Summary[]

Sum

The most sacred equation in all of Cambridge

Advanced mathematical research has demonstrated that the sum of all natural numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5...) is not infinity as common sense (or any sense) would suggest, but -1/12. The number -1/12 is of special importance to the class of 2021, as it represents all the values they aspire to uphold: memes, mathematics, and making no sense.

Origin[]

In Math[]

Something something Riemann zeta function. No one actually understands it. 

As a meme[]

The first -1/12 related meme shared in a relatively public MIT 2021 environment was shared by Jade Fischer. -1/12 then received a large amount of help by Jesus Solis in reaching mainstream MIT 2021 meme culture.
