Does this mean that we now have a value and destination and "end-point" and finality for that thing which we did not previously?--a.k.a. infinity I think I hurt myself typing that sentence. It doesn't matter whether you peddle a large infinity (reals) or a small infinity (integers, odds, evens), the proscription is the same, I can't pick "any" card as I can't get the one "at the end". The answer is the same today as yesterday and Forest Gump continues to mull his box of rocks, into perpetuity, apparently. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is bizarre and ironic. The proof that the reals are not countable (represent a "larger infinity") requires one to pick values from an infinite set. Calculating probability doesn't.
