Guest jp-zeal Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 The defenition of point is very abstract, it is defined as an entity with a position in space but has no length, height or width. So please explain to me how can you diferrentiate the no. of points in a line segment of two different lengths, which are of course infinite but they are visibly different. Can I find a more plausible defenition. HELP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lqg Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Originally posted by fafalone There are always an infinite number of points along a line. therefore a line could be cut into other lines in infinity ways. it's called the cantor's comb.

lqg Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 here's a thought about points. in a line there are infinite points and so is in space. does it mean we should deduct that a line is a space? i think not because in space there are lines and because in lines there are infinite points so does space. from this space isnt a line but is composed of it. i hope my reasoning isnt fallsed.

JaKiri Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 If you mean to deduce that since lines exist in space, and infinite points exist in lines, thus space has infinite points, then you're correct. (A->B, B->C, => A->C) (correct logic) If you're trying to say that space is a line (or similar), then no. (A->C, B->C, => A->B) (flawed logic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lqg Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 i said that the letter is the problem but it's solved by the former claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
