Fun fact, there is an actual mathematical paradox that consists of this. There are numbers currently not named, but the moment u name one of those it will automatically lose that property and another number from the absolute infinite will take it's place. Kinda like the Wikipedia paradox.

Irrational and imaginary numbers: “I just blew their minds.”

SCP033: “hold my beer”

@the36lessons11

1) split the formula into quadrants
2) record and display each quadrant on separate mediums
3) keep said mediums 30 meters apart
4) always have the pieces of the equation in four separate locations
5) profit

@samuelbarker6755

My favourite part of this SCP in the broader canon is that the Scarlet King is described as a “Theta prime”-dimensional entity in some tales

@TheCosmicFreeway

I love the reality-warping SCP stories that make you question stuff even in the real world...

@LilE

I hadn't finished watching when I was like "They're gonna make a D-class vanish by writing it on them". Surprised that test never come to be.

@ub-06austin40

Huh. So that’s why my Pokémon Blue cartridge disintegrated.

@werewolfgirl1995

I'm surprised the Foundation has never tried to write the equation on a D-class personnel. That seems like something they would do.

@jacobc9221

In order to weaponize the equation, you'll want to put 2 parts on seperate specialized stamps, and then use both on the target, while aligning them perfectly.

@SuperAnimeFever

Im surprised that people dont slowly disintegrate after researching this scp. After all the equation is in their memories while they work on it.

@Saif-ge2et

5:01 Someone should give this security guard a promotion for participating in every single mission that requires armed personnel the SCP foundation has ever made

@furrysunny1300

You know, what I wonder?
Maybe SCP-033 isn't just the only forgotten number, but maybe the only known one of infinite numbers we forgot.

@c_bad3

Hunter: imagine a number that does not exist

Me: negative 0

@NirousPlayers

This reminds me when i was studying limits for the first time.
For example, the value of (x^3 + 1)/(x + 1) when x goes to -1, at first you calculate ( (-1)^3 +1 ) / (-1 + 1), and that is 0/0 which is undefined, so it does not exist!
BUT you can factor (x^3 + 1) into (x+1)(x² -x + 1), and then you have the same limit written as (x² -x + 1) when x goes to -1, so we have ( (-1)² - (-1) + 1 )and we have the result 3, and that exists!
The point is: In Math, you may stumble on into somethings that does not exist, but there is a way to make sense of it and find some way to bring it into existance.
Maybe theta prime is one peculiar case of that, it's process is so complicated that bringing it into existance is enough to cause anomalous effects on reality.

PS: Please mathematicians, do not slaughter me. I know i wasn't rigorous but i was just trying to make everyone understand without prior knowledge.

@alexanderberry1665

What if you split the missing number between multiple irregular surfaces so it's only the missing number when aligned properly

@DrMutran

An SCP that represents the most horrifying thing in the world. MATH!!

@geardog24

"Imagine a missing number if you will."

You mean that glitch in Pokémon?

@AexisRai

platonists: "hold up"

@oobtty

Theory: Since different universes have different physics, it's possible that if you invented math in another universe with different physics, you'd end up with different numbers, formulas, equations, etc. Im thinking that SCP-033 is from a universe with different physics where the mystery number in question DOES exist. But, some extradimensional wacko brough the equation to the SCP Universe, and since the equation is incompatible there, attempting to apply it or inscribe it somewhere causes violent, anomalous reactions.
