There are an infinite number of numbers. You can take those infinite numbers and slice them into an infinite number of infinite slices, each of which can be sliced the same way ad infinitum. then that must mean that there are not only infinite infinities, but an infinite number of those infinities. and an infinite number of those infinities. and an infinite number of those infinities. and an infinite number of those infinities, and... (infinitely times. and that infinitely times. and that infinitely times. and that infinitely times. and that infinitely times. and...) continues forever. and that continues forever. and that continues forever. and that continues forever. and that continues forever. and.....(…)… you can continue this process forever. And you can continue that process forever. Ad infinitum. And that ad infinitum. And…(…)…
>>17024796ok
If you sliced infinity into infinitely many slices, you would get infinitely many infinitesimals. It’s almost like infinity and infinitesimals are both made-up bullshit concepts.
>>17024901well, if infinity is bullshit, how many real numbers are there? some integer value? obviously not.It's a made up concept to describe something that can progress without bound. But trying to treat it as if it's not some seperate type of number obviously results in myriad logical contradictions. so like, maybe don't do that
>>17024911>how many real numbers are there?If an infinitely large number actually existed (or even an extremely large number defined by a formal logic system with an extremely large number of symbols) the amount of information would instantly collapse into a black hole. You are attempting to conceive of something that does not exist, and cannot exist, in reality. Every time infinity comes up in physics, it invariably means that the theory has broken down and no longer has explanatory power. Almost like it’s a made-up bullshit concept with no basis in reality. The fact that retards think infinity is a real thing has led to some of the most retarded ideas in science, like the idea that a singularity actually has infinite density, or the idea that the universe has existed forever.
>>17024920numbers are inherently not real in the physical sense, so why do the limits of our physical universe matter? mathematics is not physikoi, cmon. They're abstract concepts, yes they can be useful in understanding reality, but that doesn't mean the number 2 is like literally required to be floating around in space somewhere in order to "exist".
>>17024796Infinity+1Solved, bfto
>>17024920I imagine orders of magnitude like 10^15 or above must have seemed like made-up bullshit to primitives who used "myriads" for 10^4 too.
>>17024901>>17024920>... so we take "doubling" to mean, when the quantity at t+1 is twice the quantity at the moment t, such that...>until when?>pardon?>until when does the quantity keep "doubling"?>oh, there's no limit of course>well you can't do that>why not?>if you keep going you'll end up with some absurdly large uncountable number, and then you'd double that, and double that again at each step, without end>that is correct, I suppose>well you can't keep going forever, you have to stop at some point. I mean you've gotta stop when you can't even count the quantity you're "doubling." for that matter you can't just keep adding 1 to t forever either, "forever" isn't even a valid timespan.>I prefer t+1, yes>well how large can this t get?>there isn't any limit to t in my formulation either, hence the doubling without end>hah! see, that's got to be some sort of math violation, like dividing by 0! your "doubling" is just nonsense! I'm gonna prove you're a fraud as soon as I find out where this "doubling" ends!
