None of this includes the correct answers to the questions I asked you. I’m not going to read anything else from you until you correctly answer the questions I asked.

I find it interesting that you have a degree in math, and apparently have never questioned a question. As I’ve demonstrated, in the posted problem, the statement “some Infinities are bigger than other infinities” is an illogical statement. The mere statement that there are multiple infinities, negates either objects identification as being infinite, and reduces both objects to finite objects, as the only way these objects can be determined to be seperate from each other is through a boundary that would impose a starting or ending point on each object, which in turn reduces them into finite objects.

I also find it interesting that you resort to gate keeping to try and control a situation that you are frustrated by. I was able to simply and clearly demonstrate my position. I also demonstrated the technique of: solving the problem by defeating its purpose. I’ve also demonstrated the difference in how a mathematician and an engineer attempt to solve a problem.

To me you have demonstrated:

  1. You don’t know even the most basic definitions of the things you are trying to talk about.

  2. You are possibly too willfully stupid to bother to learn said definitions.

  3. You are capable of babbling incoherently about things you do not understand ad nauseum.

It seems you are having a hard time comprehending this. I get it’s hard to learn new things. But I can walk you through it.

TL;DR: If an object can be measured, in any way, it’s a finite object. Infinity cannot be measured.

  1. In the posted problem the train tracks themselves are finite objects, as they each have a starting point, the fork the train is in front of.
  2. The train tracks are bound to physical ground, ground that is itself bound to a finite world, a world has a shape, that can be measured, so it is a finite object.
  3. If the shape of the world the train tracks are on is round, then these seemingly infinite tracks will eventually loop back on themselves. If the tracks loop back on themselves, then they must eventually converge as the train starts out the problem on a single track. So neither of the tracks are infinite.
  4. It’s important to understand that the tracks are finite objects, as finite objects exist by different rules then infinity itself.
  5. I’m not arguing that uncountable numbers are a thing. What I am stating is that if those numbers exist within a finite universe, then they have a lifespan, the lifespan of the finite universe that contains them, thus those numbers aren’t infinite, uncountable yes, but not truly infinite. As I have stated many times, finite objects, like the finite universe, can only create other finite objects. Infinity cannot be created, therefore there is only one infinity, infinity itself, all other objects that can be measured are finite objects. This also means if infinity decides to create anything, it can only produce finite objects. Infinity cannot produce another infinity, as the act of creation would be a measurable starting point.
  6. This is why the statement (some infinities are smaller than other infinities) is an illogical statement. If you can measure multiple infinities, then none of those objects are infinite, as one object can be measured to be smaller or larger than the other. And as I keep stating, infinity cannot be measured. If your measurement is uncountable, then the measurement itself is finite.
