Re: Experimental Mathematics Troll
Hmmm, the sort of observation that will one day make you famous.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

You should try to know if there is a set whose cardinality is strictly between that of intehers and real numbers

That is no longer an open problem.
You should try trolling them with the Riemann hypothesis. It's at least a bit more productive.

I beleive it's closed for quite a while now. It was shown to be undecidable.

Isn't the Riemann Hypothesis too difficult to explain to them?

Re: Experimental Mathematics Troll
Why are you concerned whether you are appreciated? I appreciate you, is that not enough for anyone? Are any of them better than I am? They are not.
