why are there different sizes of infinity?

[fibonacci]

Wow this bafffles the mind. Consider the set of numbers x=1,2,3,4,etc and y=2,4,6,8,etc.. both sets are infinite in size right? But you can turn set x into set y by the function f(x)=2x right? So consider set x=1,2,3,4,5, etc and set y= all the numbers between 0 and 1. Both sets have infinite number of members right? So does there exist a function then that matches all the numbers in x to y? If so please give an example..

yes there is, however first enlightenment must be gained through a fasted 3-day LHJO-a-thon

I would like to know of such an example. Clearly so far there hasn't been one for an example. If the two ssets are infinite and are the same size, why hasn't an example been given yet to turn all the numbers 1,2,3,4,5, etc into all of the numbers that exist between 0 and 1?

you need to think laterally, particularly during the moment of release . . try auto-fellatio coupled with a self-facial . . it may help

1/x or lnx can have an area measured to = 1 with no limits in place

infinity isn't infinite anymore.

Why do we not have a graphing tool on this board

1/x absolutely can not produce irrational numbers such as 1/sqrt(2) if all the x's come from the set 1,2,3,4,...... ln x can't even produce the number 0.25 if the x once again comes from the set 1,2,3,4.... so that fails too. Come on we want to turn all the numbers 1,2,3,4,5...... into all of the numbers between 0 and 1. Both sets are clearly infinite, so why are we having trouble "matching them" to one another?

who gives a flying crap shoot about some infinite crap? Holy shit, just do some steroids and get big.. quit the fag chatter

And yes i'm a hypocrite

 

[Little Wing]

do your own homework.

 

[country1911]

You are talking 2 different types of infinity... the numbers between 0 and 1 are infinitely small while the numbers 1,2,3,4,5 etc are infinitely large. I am guessing this is easier than you are making it to be, something along the lines of y=x/(x+1) or something along those lines. I would like to help you but I haven't had a math class since my sophomore year in college and I've done a lot of shit to help me forget it since then.

A prolapsed anus provides infinite shit for an infinitely gay thread. Put the nozzle of your vacuum up your ass and suck yourself inside out.

taht like saying why is my penis 8 1/2 inches and your is 5 ...

 

[Hoglander]

You can't count every number between 0 and 1. You would get to "1" you fucking retard that's a limit. "Infinity" remember?

 

[Built]

Ah, limits... makes me think of asymptotes.

You folks all know the difference between a slut and a bitch, right? A slut will do it with anybody. A bitch will do it with anybody, except you.

Mathematically speaking, an asymptote is the ultimate tease - lets you get as close as you like but never gets you all the way there. They're mathematical bitches!

I have GOT to get some sleep...

this is a funny and clever analogy.

 

[Vieope]

There was a matematician that went crazy because of this theories on infinity. I forget his name. But he was able to prove some infinities are bigger than other infinities. Really, there is a BBC documentary about it.

There two different infinite sets, there isn't a function to transform these sets. Maybe LHJO can do it.

Shit, there is a name for this.. I forgot it...Take a strip of paper about 1 inch wide, twist it 1/2 way and tape it togeter... it has NO inside or outer edge...weird huh...???
