Thus I reasoned that neither equation (nor any n^0) would work if time were reversed.
Do you see you kicked an own goal .. what you actually proved was you can't distinguish
Function X ^ 0 = Function Y ^ 0 = Function Z ^ 0 = 1
Bull's-eye! You tend to over think some of my naïve posts. My point was that if you could not distinguish between two different equations that produced the same answer, from two different starting points, you could not reverse the process. Thus, even if you could reverse time, you would have no way of knowing if 1 (your answer) was derived from x or y by raising it to the power of 0.
My next step was to reason that information had been lost.
I’ll leave it to Paul to discuss the maths, because I don’t see what the dangerous practice of throwing stones off cliffs has to do with this.
BTW, Paul, does my reasoning above make sense to you, or am I talking rubbish?
