Nick Douglas discussing "Infinity"
with Mark Bloss...
ND>> I raise you to infinity. Trump card, I win.
MB>> Ha! I raise you to infinity * 100^10. ;)
MB>> ... Brace your self, worse attacks on your reason are coming along.
ND> That's right. Hmm. Your number is still infinity, is it not?
Yes, but it is a bigger one than you stated. Here is a bigger one than
Mark's: infinity^infinity
ND> And if
ND> even numbers, every one of them, added up are infinite, and so are all
ND> integers, there are the same amount of each, right?
Wrong. There are half as many even numbers as there are integers.
ND> But there are two
ND> integers for every even number!
Indeed. Which makes your above claim, that the set of all even numbers is the
same size as the set of all integers, a total nonsense.
