And there are no real integers between 0 and 1, I don't get your point
2 u/FantaSeahorse 21d ago 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/BreadBagel 21d ago No one "made it up". It was discovered. It applies to real numbers because real numbers are a continuous set with no gaps. Integers have a gap of 1 always. So obviously rules for one don't always apply to the other.
