There is no remainder in the mathematics of infinity.

^^ Exactly.

The concept of 1 isn't a law, but an abstraction.

The concept of 1.5 isn't a law, but an abstraction.

The concept of 2 isn't a law, but an abstraction.

The abstractions are infinite, even if our concepts aren't.

I think Mr. Joshua won this thread with the 2nd post on page 1

9/14/2006 3:23:23 PM

I think threads can't be won.

9/14/2006 6:17:59 PM

Or is there just a finite number of threads that can be won!?!?!

9/14/2006 6:20:59 PM

I guess we just haven't been able to find all of pi's digits then...

9/14/2006 6:27:40 PM

No way, man. Cuz like, this guy found a pattern in Pi and it fucked up his computer. Didnja see tha movie?

lol google search "finite set of numbers" and this comes up. i thought that was lolable.


check this site out you might be able to open your mind to what im explaining here

infinity is for children

You do not have to imagine a number for it to exist.

The counting numbers, which you alluded to, exist as a logical extension of the concept of one more. Technicially, the successor function.

Without a doubt computers have implemented a floating point number which no human has actually taken the time to imagine. However, it reaches an answer whose implications are borne out in the real world. In every sensible way that number is exists.

But mathematicians have already imagined infinity so it exists.

You should be suspended for bumping this monstrosity.

Fine, lets end the threat:

Assume there is a finite set of numbers, E. E contains a highest number, q. Now add 1 to q, creating the number q + 1. Since q + 1 > q, and q is the highest number in E, then q + 1 is not in set E. Therefore E does not contain all numbers and the original statement is false. We can conclude this is NOT a finite set of numbers.
