ELI5: in propositional logic, why does "false implies false" equal to true?
additionally, why does false implies true also equal to true?
say you have a statement,
"If I clap then there will be sound"
p: I clapped q: there is sound
So if we consider the case where p is false and q is false, so you did not clap your hands and there was no sound, how do can you deduce that if you had clapped your hands there would have been sound? As in, how can you say that the original statement is true?
I understand that the idea is that you assume that the statement is true until proven otherwise, and that the underlying idea behind implications is that they guarantee that p being true means q is also true, and if q is false then p is also false, but why are all other cases automatically considered true?
I understand now, thank you very much for the help guys! #education
