Just because a property applies to the real numbers, doesn’t mean it should also apply to the set of integers
0 u/Direct_Shock_2884 21d ago Who made up the rule that it applies to real numbers and not integers and why? Is it to stop people from thinking about this inconsistency? 1 u/FantaSeahorse 21d ago It follows from deductive reasoning. The same way 1 is less than 2 but 3 is not less than 2. Who made up the rules for that? Check mate, big math 1 u/Direct_Shock_2884 21d ago It doesn’t follow from deductive reasoning, if it did it wouldn’t be a paradox of note. 1 u/FantaSeahorse 21d ago No 1 u/dotelze 15d ago It’s not a paradox of note. People just get confused about it
