[citation][nom]alidan[/nom]i can prove that 1+1 does not equal 3im assuming that the same principals are at work...[/citation]

The problem here is that 1+1 already has a known solution. In the numbering systems of base 3 and higher, the answer is 2. In Binary, the answer is 10. In Unary it's 11 (More like ||)!

Prove that there's no such animal as a cat! It's a non-starter because we already know that an animal we call a cat exists.

** on the cat example, the null hypothesis would have succeeded (there is an animal we call a cat)

Trying to prove that there can not be any purple colored cats - without the use of dyes, etc - is harder, because one cannot possibly know all possible ways the pigment gene can mutate to provide this coloring.
(unless there are already purple cats of course...then substitute 'purple' for some other color we have not yet seen. But not glow-in-the-dark cats, because we know scientists can already do that)
