The Numberphile videos imply that 1 + 2 + 3… = -1/12 but it seems that they’re not talking about the traditional sum.
They said something about it being useful in physics and I think string theory…
I think the sum is infinite or at least a non-negative number. I wonder why it is -1/12? I mean why not pi or something…

Since there is an active thread on this, I’m closing this one.
