Not the zillionth time, but it is the second time you have made that false claim.
December 27, 2021 at 02:10
No one ever told you that mathematics is not throwing around words like 'conformal' while not knowing what they mean.
December 27, 2021 at 02:09
I answered one of your questions. Your turn to answer one of mine.
December 27, 2021 at 02:07
I do. You don't conversely. Read not just what I write, but what is written anywhere you would look: There is no bijection between N and . What you wr...
December 27, 2021 at 02:06
You contradict yourself. You claim there is a bijection from N onto R, but above you admit that the interval is uncountable. And we don't write '' to ...
December 27, 2021 at 01:48
That is purely arbitrary unfounded assertion. On the other hand, in set theory, from rigorously stated axioms, definitions, and rules of inference we ...

Every cardinal is either countable or uncountable. Every countable cardinal is either finite or denumerable. There are denumerably many countable card...

Wrong. For any infinite set S.
December 27, 2021 at 01:23
Do you mean N onto R? The answer is 0. My many previous remarks amply imply that. Now that I've answered your question, howzabout you answering a ques...
December 27, 2021 at 01:22
CORRECTION to the post below. This answers proving that card(R) = card(RxR), which is not what was asked of me. Instead, what was asked of me is "how ...

I'm embarrassed. "Heat Wave" is by Irving Berlin not Cole Porter.
December 27, 2021 at 00:56
Incorrigible.
December 27, 2021 at 00:50
I already explained to you that proving that there is a bijection from N onto R requires stating your axioms, definitions, and rules of inference and ...
December 27, 2021 at 00:41
You haven't proven any math. But you have proven yourself to be a crank.
December 27, 2021 at 00:31
I didn't say I gave you functions. And I have never said anything about repeated fractions. You seem to have confused me with another poster.
December 27, 2021 at 00:30
I'll give you a point for that one.

I don't know whether the following post by me appeared in the thread that was deleted today: Take away the word 'project' (a projection function is a ...
December 27, 2021 at 00:11
Disgusting.
December 27, 2021 at 00:03
So what? In general geniuses drink water. I drink water. That doesn't make me a genius. In an any case, you show no evidence of genius. Very much to t...

Fraenkel and Zermelo. Aren't they that old vaudeville comedy team that played the Borscht Belt years ago? But I thought maybe you meant Frank Zappa. H...
December 26, 2021 at 23:47
By the way, I did look at that Quora page you suggested in the thread that has since been deleted. The first post there is a proof that card(R) = card...
December 26, 2021 at 23:46
In another thread in which you were posting, I already wrote that I am not an expert. It doesn't highlight any concept. It only highlights that you do...
December 26, 2021 at 23:39
Indeed I have a different notion from yours! My notion is the usual one in mathematics. You, on the other hand, are unfamiliar with the ordinary mathe...
December 26, 2021 at 20:43
Which has no apparent meaning. I guess what you mean is SxS where S is infinite. But then there are more than card(NxN) real numbers between 0 and 1. ...
December 26, 2021 at 20:36
Yes, my mistake about the link to Feedback.
December 26, 2021 at 20:30
"inf^2" is not a recognizable notion. Probably what you mean is 2^N. And you ignorantly, wantonly persist about aleph_1 The claim that aleph_1 = 2^N i...
December 26, 2021 at 20:28
I am not venting. I am expressing my thoughts about it to you and whomever might be interested. As you and another poster have mentioned your thoughts...
December 26, 2021 at 20:22
You are errant in so many ways: (1) My responses decidedly were usually not merely brief and not lacking content. (2) My latest response did include m...
December 26, 2021 at 20:18
Without warning, without notification, without explanation. Is that not rude and arrogant moderation? What is the explanation anyway?
December 26, 2021 at 20:07
I can't find the recent thread about the Russell set. And when I click the link to 'Feedback' it does nothing.
December 26, 2021 at 19:56
I have not mentioned continuousness. I have merely pointed out the utterly well known fact that it is a theorem that card(R) = card(RxR),. That is ris...
December 26, 2021 at 18:34
It is a theorem that card(R) = card(R^n) for any natural number n>0. This is known by anyone who has read a basic textbook in set theory. Just read th...
December 26, 2021 at 14:49
'the continuum' is probably most exactly defined as <R less_than>, but let's simplify here to just say it's R. It is the continuum hypothesis that its...

He says he's out of his depth but persists by positing an "update". The update is nonsense updating nonsense. Meanwhile, he's not the least bit intere...

The three books mentioned above are well beyond the preparedness of anyone who has not studied at least basic symbolic logic. The best book for the la...

The Godel sentence is a formula in the language of formal arithmetic. It an exact formula using only the symbols of symbolic logic and the symbols of ...

What? .999... is not a sequence. It's a number. That number is 1. The sequence is {<1 9/10> <2 99/100> <3 999/1000>...} and its limit is 1. Once more:...
October 16, 2021 at 03:15
You keep replying past the simple straightforward points I made. Especially again as you go past my point that you haven't mathematically defined "rea...
October 16, 2021 at 03:10
Of course, if the sequence does not converge then it's another ballgame. But we easily prove that the sequence we've been talking about does converge....
October 16, 2021 at 02:59
By the way, when I say that non-standard analysis is subsumed within classical mathematics, I mean non-standard analysis developed in ZFC. I'm not ref...
October 16, 2021 at 02:56
Specifically, we don't do that even in simple freshman calculus. I have never read an author say there is an "implicit reaching" (whatever that would ...
October 16, 2021 at 02:50
Of course non-standard has infinitesimals. (And non-standard analysis takes place itself in a larger environment of classical mathematics.) Though, I ...
October 16, 2021 at 02:39
What do you mean by 'instantiating infinity'. We instantiate the set of natural numbers in set theory, of course. And we instantiate the set of ration...
October 16, 2021 at 02:36
What exactly do you disagree with in what I just posted?
October 16, 2021 at 02:32
I've not seen it phrased that way, especially in a rigorous exposition in classical mathematics. Not even in freshman calculus. I don't know what writ...
October 16, 2021 at 02:27
There is an infinite sequence and there is the limit of that infinite sequence. There is no supertask - no performing an infinite number of operations...
October 16, 2021 at 02:24
Informally inconsistent, yes. Anyway, when we move beyond child-level thinking that there must be involved a "reaching" and instead we study rigorous ...
October 16, 2021 at 02:19
To be in agreement, you'd have to agree that the limit of the sequence is rigorously defined.
