I know, I know

I guess the overly extensive mathematics lessons I get at uni have degenerated my brain to an extent where I can only see things in formulas... No more "Magicks" for me...

But still, if you take a function f(t) for the age of beer, and differentiate it on the interval [0,t], and once more on the interval [-t,0], you'll find that both are first-degree functions, and that f'(t) equals f'(-t) (as f(t) is a continuous function). From this you can conclude that beer traveling backwards in time loses age exactly as fast as beer traveling forward in time gains age.
So:

∀t∈ℝ, ∂f∈ℕ, 0 ≤ ∂f ≤ 2: f'(t)=-f'(-t) ⇒ f'(t)+f'(-t)=0 ⇒ ∫[0,t]f'(t)dt+f(t)+∫[-t,0]f'(t)dt=f(t)

Wherein f(t) is the age of beer and f'(t) is the aging speed.

Q.E.D.


Now try to prove me wrong
