I cannot be felt, seen or touched;
Yet I can be found in everybody;

Yet I have my own style of music.
What Am I?

2=1? - math puzzle

Suppose: a = b

It then follows that
a * a = a * b
a^2 = a * b
a^2 - b^2 = a * b - b^2
(a - b) * (a + b) = (a - b) * b
a + b = b
a + a = a
2 * a = 1 * a
2 = 1

Is this derivation really correct? Or is there somewhere a mistake? If so, where?
