I do not have a cat but I will ask him about the cat I do not have.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Hahahhahhahah, that is funny. He should try to look like you and until he does I would suggest you do not pay him any heed.

M has something called Infinity and also a ComplexInfinity.

Re: Math Pick-up Lines
The number 3 has meaning to me, because I can immediately see 3 apples. It is ridiculous to talk about what 10^10 means. It only has a meaning that I give it through the axioms.

Re: Math Pick-up Lines
Apple Apple Apple
Let's say that the number of apples above this line is 3. Since you can correlate something with it, it exists in the material world.
Now, keep counting the apples from left to right and right to left and do not stop. You will reach aleph-null.
Hence, it exists in the material world.

Re: Math Pick-up Lines
You are obviously having problems with Jean's quote. He is a super famous mathematician. The legendary Grothendieck was his student! He was a member of Bourbaki. If he is saying that then maybe we should listen.

Re: Math Pick-up Lines
My point is, he might be right! Aleph-null has no meaning except the meaning we give it through the axioms. It is unreal and
Nothing unreal exists - Kiri-kin-tha's
Also, like my signature if you have problems with the quote you cannot blame me I did not say it.

The number 3 does not exist either, then.

Questions of existence are for philosophers. He was just stating the number 3 has meaning to him, 10^10 does not.
