Counting- Jerad Finally Admits that I am Right!

-
Yessirree, it took some time but Jerad has finally opened his eyes and mind. I had posted:

Try it- start at 0 and count every non-negative integer with one counter and every positive even integer with another. The counter counting the non-negative integers will always be at least 2x that as the other counter, ie it will always have more elements- ALWAYS- as long as infinity exists and especially when infinity ceases to exist.

Yup, that is obviously true.

And if that is obvioulsy true then it follows that the set of non-negative integers has a cardinality that is greater than the set of positive even integers.

Thanks Jerad...

    I admitted that the one count would be twice the other for any finite period of time. But I did not admit that the cardinalities were different.

    Don't take things out of context 'cause you think you can get away with it. That's dishonest and deceptive.

    The evidence says that you admitted one count would be twice the other for infinity.

    But I did not admit that the cardinalities were different.

    Umm the cardinalities are directly linked to teh counts.

    Don't take things out of context 'cause you think you can get away with it.

    What did I take out of context?

    "Your statement was very clear. Now you want to change it for whatever reason."

    I didn't think someone was going to be like a elementary school boy, knowing the way I have been arguing over days and then jump up and down a point and say: BUT YOU SAID!!! NAH NAH NAH NAH

    Grow up.

    What I should have said was that your coutning technique does give different totals as long as you stop in a finite period of time. But we are talking about infinte sets. So . . . your technique breaks down AND is not the way to compare the sizes of infinite sets which is a one-to-one correpondence between the elements.

    It does? One set will ALWAYS be greater than the other- always and forever, for infinity even.

    And that is why you originally agreed with it, then realized you gave away the store and now have to do a little damage control. But anyway...

    But we are talking about infinte sets.

    Exactly. And as I said one set will ALWAYS be greater than the other- always and forever, for infinity even.

    What part of that don't you understand?

    So . . . your technique breaks down

    Nope, you break down, not my technique.

    AND is not the way to compare the sizes of infinite sets

    It should be the only way.

    which is a one-to-one correpondence between the elements.

    That's just horse-shit mumbo-jumbo.

    I understand it. I just disagree with you.

    I'm sorry that most people disagree with you. Get used to it.

    And this from the person who thinks that root 2 doesn't exist and that there is a smallest number in the open interval (0, 1) but who can't produce it.

    I made a mistake in how I phrased a response, I should have been more careful. I hopefully have clarified what I meant so there is less ambiguity. Now will you own up to some of your incorrect statements. That there is no smallest number in (0, 1). That root 2 exists. That {1, ½, ⅓, ¼, . . . . } does not have a smallest element. Are you man enough?

    Please explain. You have every right to disagree but unless you have some sound reasoning your disagreement means nothing. So let's have it.

    And this from the person who thinks that root 2 doesn't exist...

    No one can produce it.

    ... and that there is a smallest number in the open interval (0, 1) but who can't produce it.

    I am going over that very thing with socle. Every point is the diameter of one electron. And the points on a line are uniformly packed.

    But anyway unless you explain yourself- tell how what I said cannot be true- there isn't anything else to discuss. Seriously if you can't even count then you can't do math.

    You have to explain why. If you cannot count then cardinalities mean nothing and the discussion is moot.

     
  • At 12:50 AM, Blogger Unknown said…

    I told you many times.

    It's not the rate at which items in a set get counted.

    Your technique would say that {1, ½, ⅓, ¼ . . . } would have more elements than {1, 2, 3, 4 . . . } because your 'train' travelling from 1 to the left would be counting elements in that set faster than another train starting at 1 going right on the number line at the same speed and counting the positive integers. But clearly they have the same number of elements.

    I disagree with your method because it doesn't work.

    You keep saying no one can explain what's wrong with your method. It doesn't work. It gives incorrect results.

     
  • At 7:23 AM, Blogger Joe G said…

    My technique has NOTHING to do with the rate. Only a moron would say such a thing and here you are.

    No, it would not.

    because your 'train' travelling from 1 to the left would be counting elements in that set faster than another train starting at 1 going right on the number line at the same speed and counting the positive integers.

    My technique would NOT be applied to two different types of sets. AND my technique would say that the numbers between 1 and 0 are FINITE because there comes a point that you can no longer continue to half the number because then the point will be the same as zero- no separation can be observed.

    disagree with your method because it doesn't work.

    It doesn't work when an asshole moron attempts to use it.

    "It doesn't work when an asshole moron attempts to use it."

    Uh huh. Fine, then you tell me the cardinality of {1, ½, ⅓, ¼ . . . . }

    I might as well. You won't listen to reasonably put objections or explanations. You fail to answer questions put to you. Your typical response is similar to those I see on an elementary school playground albeit with a bit more profanity. And my efforsts are not appreciated.

  • At 9:31 AM, Blogger Joe G said…

    However many elements it contains- count them if you are interested.

    Ooops, that's right, you can't count!

    And thanks for continuing to act like a little whiny baby- perhaps it isn't an act...

     
  • At 9:33 AM, Blogger Joe G said…

    So socle agrees with me:

    Certainly any two distinct points must be separated by some distance.

    And Jerad is too stupid to grasp that, so he cannot understand why {1, ½, ⅓, ¼ . . . . } is NOT infinite.

     
  • At 9:37 AM, Blogger Unknown said…

    "However many elements it contains- count them if you are interested. "

    I think {1, ½, ⅓, ¼ . . . } is obviously countably infinite like the positive integers. But you think it's finite so . . . how many elements does it have?

    "Certainly any two distinct points must be separated by some distance."

    As as the points get closer and closer together the distance gets shorter and shorter.

    The set {1, ½, ⅓, ¼ . . . } gets closer and closer to zero but it never reaches zero. It will get as close as you want sooner or later. But never zero.

    Until there isn't any distance and the points blur into one.

    " 'I think {1, ½, ⅓, ¼ . . . } is obviously countably infinite like the positive integers. '

    Good for you. Unfortunately you cannot prove it."

    It's pretty simple really. Let's try counting the elements of the set:

    first element = 1

    second element = ½

    third elemtment = ⅓

    nth element = 1/n

    Can you give me an n for which there is no element of the set? Or, given some 1/n can you be sure you will count that element when determining the cardinality? Also yes. Is there a limit on n? Nope. Can I go on picking n's forever? Absolutely.

    " 'As as the points get closer and closer together the distance gets shorter and shorter.'

    Until there isn't any distance and the points blur into one"

    Only in your finite world. The rest of us can see beyond that.

    Name calling does not win the argument. And if you chose to ignore the counter arguments and instead choose to stand in a corner and shout and stamp and make a fuss that is your choice. But it doesn't make you right. And it doesn't mean you can deliver the goods.

    What is the smallest element of (0, 1)?

    What is the cardinality of {1, ½, ⅓, ¼ . . . . } ?

    What is the length of the diagonal of a unit square? Given that, as you said, the Pythagorean theorem is useful?

    Nope, you will die well before forever comes around. Numbers are as finite as we are Jerad. And there comes a point between two numbers were there isn't any space between points and the points blur into one.

    Again, the rate you count elements in a set has nothing to do with the cardinality of the set. I don't think you really grasp the idea.

    Jerad,

    What I am posting is not an assertion. It is a fact.

    What you are too stupid to understand that is with my methodology the rate of count and the number of elements are directly correlated, ie there is a one-to-one correspondence.

    You can't figure out the cardinality of {1, ½, ⅓, ¼ . . . } and you hope you can just keep dodging the question. If there is no smallest element in (0, 1) then that set is infinite and not finite as you said so you're stuck there too.

    You wish. You can't even find numbers you say exist!!

    And JoeMath can't compare the cardinalities of {1, 2, 3, 4 . . . } and {1, ½, ⅓, ¼ . . . . }

    In fact, JoeMath can't even offer a guess for the last one. Because, how did you put it . . . it's like comparing apples and oranges. But we're talking about the cardinalities of those sets and you can compare the cardinalities of any sets no matter what is in them.

  • At 12:08 PM, Blogger Unknown said…

    From Wikipedia:

    The first proof of the existence of irrational numbers is usually attributed to a Pythagorean (possibly Hippasus of Metapontum), who probably discovered them while identifying sides of the pentagram. The then-current Pythagorean method would have claimed that there must be some sufficiently small, indivisible unit that could fit evenly into one of these lengths as well as the other. However, Hippasus, in the 5th century BC, was able to deduce that there was in fact no common unit of measure, and that the assertion of such an existence was in fact a contradiction. He did this by demonstrating that if the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle was indeed commensurable with a leg, then that unit of measure must be both odd and even, which is impossible. His reasoning is as follows:

    Start with an isosceles right triangle with side lengths of integers a, b, and c. The ratio of the hypotenuse to a leg is represented by c:b.

    Assume a, b, and c are in the smallest possible terms (i.e. they have no common factors).

    By the Pythagorean theorem: c^2 = a^2+b^2 = b^2+b^2 = 2b^2. (Since the triangle is isosceles, a = b).

    Since c^2 = 2b^2, c^2 is divisible by 2, and therefore even.

    Since c^2 is even, c must be even.

    Since c and b have no common factors, and c is even, b must be odd (if b were even, b and c would have a common factor of 2).

    Since c is even, dividing c by 2 yields an integer. Let y be this integer (c = 2y).

    Squaring both sides of c = 2y yields c^2 = (2y)2, or c2 = 4y^2
    .
    Substituting 4y^2 for c^2 in the first equation (c^2 = 2b^2) gives us 4y^2= 2b^2.

    Dividing by 2 yields 2y^2 = b^2.

    Since y is an integer, and 2y^2 = b^2, b^2 is divisible by 2, and therefore even.

    Since b^2 is even, b must be even.

    However, we have already asserted that b must be odd, and b cannot be both odd and even. This contradiction proves that c and b cannot both be integers, and thus the existence of a number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers.


    Did you get that? Maybe you should read it again just to be sure.

    And this was done 2500 years ago!! You really should try and keep up.

    And, if the above is wrong then where is the mistake?

    Hey moron, if sets are collections of things- they are by definition- then how can you collect things that don't exist? How can you have a set with infinite elements? No one can collect infinite things.

    "And what was the purpose of the wikipedia article?"

    You don't get it? Really? You've gone on and on about how irrational numbers don't exist and yet, somehow, strangely, 2500 years ago smart people were realising that if you had a right triangle with two equal sides then the hypotenuse came out to be a number which was not a ratio of two integers. Sorry if I'm going to fast for you. Do you need that spelt out in language a 4th grader could understand?

    "You can't even find numbers you say exist!!"

    And, by last count, JoeMaths is still unable to find the smallest value in (0, 1)

    Well this is really a damaging result for JoeMaths. He said such a number existed but he has consistently be unable to produce that value.

    Phil, it's almost as if he just made that claim up.

    Bob, I can't help but agree. It was worth a try but I think his bluff has been called.

    What about his claim that no one has been able to give an exact value of root 2?

    Well, by definition, root 2 has an infinite, non-repeating decimal expansion. It's one of those pesky irrational numbers. You knnw, the ones that can't be represented as a ratio of integers. This was all figured out about 2500 years ago. But it doesn't mean root 2 doesn't exist or that we can't use it. Or that it doesn't have an exact value. Root 2 is the number that when squared gives you 2. Writing it down as a decimal expansion is impossible but it is a number. JoeMaths can't seem to handle it but mainstream mathematics has been dealing with it for a couple of millenium now.

    Wow, sounds like JoeMaths is having trouble keeping up.

    Yes well this is JoeMaths major problem. It can't deal with lots of situations and it can't come up with the goods.

    Dear JoeMaths,

    We'd really like to support you in showing that those bastard 'tards you think are wrong are intellectual scum. But you're not giving us much to rally around. Calling people names and dodging questions is fun and all but it doesn't really help prove that JoeMaths is the superior system.

    Why don't you just answer all the questions and prove what dummies they all are? You can do that . . . can't you? I'm only asking because there is dissention in the ranks and I'm not sure how long I can hold the line without some clear content from you.

    Thanks!!

    "You don't know if your answers are correct. They cannot be proven nor disproven."

    And JoeMath knows because JoeMaths took a Calculus class!! But not a set theory course.

    They have been proven and scrutenised and looked at by many, many people who would just LOVE to tind a mistake.

    "Hey moron, if sets are collections of things- they are by definition- then how can you collect things that don't exist? How can you have a set with infinite elements? No one can collect infinite things."

    JoeMaths can't handle infinity. Which is why JoeMaths can't deliver the goods. JoeMaths lives in the Iron Age.

    "And what was the purpose of the wikipedia article?"

    It proves the existence of irrational numbers. I assumed, since you took a Calculus class, that you could read and understand a basic math proof from 2500 years ago. Guess I was wrong. My bad.

    Dear Jerad,

    Seeing that you are too stupid to understand that the faster the rate of count means that more elements will be counted and that more elements means a greater cardinality, perhaps mathematics isn’t your thing and you just should shut up.

    "Seeing that you are too stupid to understand that the faster the rate of count means that more elements will be counted and that more elements means a greater cardinality, perhaps mathematics isn’t your thing and you just should shut up."

    I think your record is skipping. I keep hearing the same thing over and over again.

    You know what the real issue is? You had an idea. It was wrong but it was worth a shot. Instead of asking people what they thought, doing some work trying to figure out what other work had already been done, checking to see if your notions had already been addressed or considered . . . you just farted out your concepts and then refused to acknowledge any criticism and said that anyone who disagreed with you was a moron.

    Your background and experience in mathematics is limited. Your understanding of basic concepts is limited to flawed. You imagine there is some great conspiracy of dunces that you're fighting against when, in fact, people are doing research, applying their work, having their work scrutenised by the mathematical community.

    Time to grow up. If you want to compete then learn the rules. And, get real. You can sit in your house on your computer (whose bits and pieces were made possible by people who did understand some of the things you can't seem to grasp) and bitch and moan and whine all you like. But if you can't deliver. If you can't compete. If you fail at the first hurdle. Then . . . NO ONE is going to care or listen to you. That is the truth. Not even your heroes in ID. Not Dr Dembski. Not Dr Behe. Not GEM. No one.

    You want to prove yourself? Then DO SOME WORK. Stop whining like some 4th grader.

    What, you want me to tell you AGAIN?? Jeeze louise, are you going to pay attention this time?

    Write down the positive even integers: 2, 4, 6, 8 . . .

    Count them. The first one is 2, the second one is 4, the third one is 6, etc. Oh, look, I've set up a one-to-one correspondence between the positive integers and the positive even integers. Each element of one set is UNIQUELY associated with an element of the other set. Now, lets see . . . if each element of either set is uniquely matched with an element of the other set . . .and nothing is left out of either set . . . well . . . that can only happen if . . . THEY ARE THE SAME SIZE!!!

    "BTW, coward, my methodolgy requires work whereas Cantor's does not."

    Cantor's method requires thinking outside the finite box. But hey, if you want to think inside a finite box, be my guest. But you don't get to say that people who think outside that box are wrong.

    Look if all you can do is lie then why even bother?

    And if something changed from finite to infinite then the use of elipsis would be banned, as the elipsis says what happens in the finite is extended to the infinite.

    Uh huh. If you're so good then:

    What is the smallest element in (0, 1) ?

    What is the cardinality of {1, ½, ⅓, ¼ . . . .} and is it an infinite set?

    I know you can't answer those questions. But I just want to make it clear that you can't and you keep avoiding answering.

    "What changes? Please be specific or admit that you are a liar."

    It's infinitly large. Not just really, really big. Don't worry about it. That circuit in your brain seems to have been disconnected.

    "Liar."

    It's not our fault you don't get it.

    "Look if all you can do is lie then why even bother?"

    If you can't understand then stop calling people liars. Higher level mathematics can't be reduced to a 4th grade level which is where you seem stuck. But that doesn't make it wrong. It works. But you don't understand it so you think it's shit.

    "And if something changed from finite to infinite then the use of elipsis would be banned, as the elipsis says what happens in the finite is extended to the infinite."

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA JoeMaths, it's not really math at all, it's more like mumbo jumbo.

    But anyway:

    Given 2 sets, A and B, if A contains all of the members of B AND has members B does not, A's cardinality has to be greater than B's.

    It's not my fault or problem that you don't grasp the difference. And I'm tired of being made fun of and sworn at.

    True for finite sets. Not necessarily true for infinite sets. Get used to it. Or shut up.

    Is true for ALL sets. It cannot ever be false.

    There isn't anything about infinity that makes it a magical equalizer. It is just the finite extended forever- which, BTW, doesn't exist. But that is another issue.

    The use of elipses means the pattern observed in this finite representation is extended without end. The ONLY thing that changes is the limit. IOW the difference in cardinality observed in the finite will just keep adding up, never to be caught.

    Infinity isn't a buffer.

    It doesn't mean the set don't have the same cardinality however. You just don't get it. You should stop expecting everyone else to revert to the Iron Age. If you want to iive there that's up to you.

    "My proof is the number line. And you are a moron."

    Okay, compare these two sets which have positions on the number line: {1, 2, 3, 4 . . . } and {1, ½, ⅓, ¼ . . . } How do there cardinalities compare?
