>The "Empire" actor said in a recent interview that he believes the number one multiplied by itself should not equal one.
>Howard told Rolling Stone that he dropped out of Pratt Institute in Brooklyn — where he was studying to be a chemical engineer — after debating his theory with a professor.
>“How can it equal one?” Howard recalled asking the professor.
>“If one times one equals one that means that two is of no value because one times itself has no effect. One times one equals two because the square root of four is two, so what's the square root of two? Should be one, but we're told it's two, and that cannot be.”
