MWresearch Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Well , let's say there's a bowling ball dropping in 3D space on some planet that follows the parabola -x^2+3. If a person was standing next to that bowling ball, where would they look in physical reality to see the solution -x^2+3=4? The solution is of course imaginary, but no where can a person physically see the solution +/- i. Edited April 24, 2015 by MWresearch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiot Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) studiot Because if we count reals in order from 0 to1 we have counted an infinity of numbers. mwresearch just because we focus on the integers 0 and 1. You misread what I wrote Counting reals means counting every real, not just focusing on two of them. Edited April 24, 2015 by studiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counting a set of all reals does, but counting the specific integers 0 and 1 means nearly the opposite; it means specifically picking out the numbers 0 and 1 out of all numbers that exist.
