Terrence Howard firmly believes his non-traditional theories on math, gravity and science are the simple truth — and it’s only the “Jim Crow laws of mathematics” preventing the rest of the world from getting on board with him!
We got the actor/mathematician at LAX and our photog asked him if anyone’s reached out to debate him on some of his differing views about the world we live in … including his insistence that 1 x 1 = 2.

Terrence says he’s open for healthy debates on what he’s been preaching on podcasts … where he’s been challenging the conventional math laws that have been around for centuries.
While Terrence says no one is trying to silence him over his non-conventional views — he had a lot to say about a lot of topics on Joe Rogan‘s podcast — he says the real “truth” about math is so simple it can’t be silenced.
Problem is … Terrence says mathematicians have limited how we think about the world with their longstanding principles, comparing it to the Jim Crow South’s restrictive laws … which is why he thinks folks are resistant to his math principles — 1 x 0 = 1 is another gem.

Try not to think about it for too long, but yeah … watch the clip, because Terrence at least seems to believe the conversations he’s stirring prove his “truth” will come out eventually.
