minus-squareCarnelian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down2·1 year agoThe set of natural numbers is infinite. The number 2.5 is missing from that set. Therefore infinite sets do not contain every possibility. It’s not rocket science

minus-squareCarnelian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down2·1 year agosigh, very well then. Consider the set of real numbers, which is an uncountable infinity. Notice how this infinite set does not contain any grapes. It’s not rocket science

minus-squareCaptainEffort@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 year agoExactly this. I think the real problem is that “infinite” is virtually impossible to comprehend, so people regularly misunderstand what it means and how it works.
minus-squareCarnelian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down2·1 year agoWell, yes, obviously different infinite sets have different contents. Do you have a point that’s actually relevant to what we’re talking about?
