Who the fuck came up with the idea that the reals are not countable? If you spent infinite time counting, you could potentially count to infinity (inb4, you couldn't count to a "large infinity," well you could because you could potentially count at a faster rate).

Also the idea that if you pick a random point on the line of reals "it has no width" makes no sense because even differential width *is* measurable width when taken over a certain period (particularly large infinity).
