    Take a break for a day, Reiku, and learn some maths.

    I'd have to say that's about right.

    I must ask you, James R, how do you not believe that numbers are infinite?

    I have to say that I never expected this thread to go on so long.

    Evidently, the original poster has NO idea what a construct or concept is. :shrug:

    And whenever Reiku gets involved in a duscussion of ANY kind, it just gets deeper in muddy water.

    James,
    I do have a question of my own..

    0[sup]0[/sup] != 0*0 :shrug:

    Edit: Duh.. never mind. Of course 0[sup]0[/sup] != 0[sup]2[/sup]

    Edit2: I was momentarily confused because of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_product
    I believe this may lie at the heart of Johns confusion as well.

    Just kidding, Reiku. Sometimes it is funny to read your post

    Funny? Only to people who enjoy watching someone make a fool of himself - or a masochist who likes the pain of reading big lists of nonsense.

    Where else you can see something like this:

    Reiku, you should put plus (+) in between:
    \((0.50i)+(0.50i)= \sqrt{-1}\)

    How true and typical of Reiku - a "professional writer" who cannot pay attention to details.

    Yes.
    \(\sqrt{-1}\) should be written as \(i\sqrt{1}\) by the way.

    Doesn't "1" have relative size? Isn't "1" half of "2"? I could ask, what is the size of "1". And I could answer, "1" is half the size of "2". Sure, numbers are points. But, they also have relative size.
    Next, does a series of numbers, say from zero to 1 have size?
