Proof

I understand why physicists and mathematicians get tired of crackpots and such. Heck, I get tired of them because when Iโ€™m researching subjects they are all over the place.

No, motherfucker, you canโ€™t disprove Cantorโ€™s diagonal argument or relativity in your basement using two shot glasses and a laser pointer. And that you โ€œfeel likeโ€ bijection doesnโ€™t work or that the irrational numbers arenโ€™t uncountably infinite doesnโ€™t mean jack shit because these are firmly proved. There is not a room for debate here. There is nothing to discover or argue about. This is simply how the universe is and thatโ€™s it.

Sure, Iโ€™d feel more comfortable too if the rational numbers werenโ€™t utterly swamped (to a degree that is impossible to comprehend) by a vast and endless sea of uncomputable irrationals. That makes me uncomfortable because it implies something about the universe that I donโ€™t quite understand. Nevertheless, it is what is true. There is not a basis for dispute here. Itโ€™s not like arguing about what your favorite soft drink is.

When I can see the obvious wrong logic and assumptions in your โ€œproofโ€ that the rational and irrationals are equal in measure, then damn, you have truly failed.
