Also, don't forget that 1-1+1-1+1-1... = 1/2

Unfortunately, it's not a mathematically valid proof. You can't fiddle with divergent series like that. It's true if you redefine the equals sign, and it's useful for some physics calculations, but the sum of the natural numbers does not equal -1/12.

I thought that infinite series allowed for that?

Not when they diverge, which the alternating 1 -1 + 1 - 1 + ... does. If it was the actual sum, you could calculate infinity to be -1/2 plus or minus squrt(1/3).
