So what about an "infinite set"? Well, to begin with you should say precisely what the term means.
Okay if you don't, at least someone should. Putting an adjective in front of a noun does not in itself make a mathematical concept.
Cantor declared that an "infinite set" is a set which is not finite. Surely that is unsatisfactory, as Cantor no doubt suspected himself. It's like declaring that an "all-seeing Leprechaun" is a Leprechaun which can see everything. Or an unstoppable mouse is a mouse which cannot be stopped. These grammatical constructions do not create concepts, except perhaps in literary or poetic sense. It is not clear that there are any sets that are not finite, just as it's not clear that there are any Leprechauns which can see everything, or that there are mice which cannot be stopped.
Certainly in science there is no reason to suppose that "infinite sets" exist. Are there and infinite number of quarks or electrons in the universe? If physicists had to hazard a guess, I am confident that the majority would say: No. But even if there were an infinite number of electrons it's unreasonable to suppose that you can get an infinite number of them all together as a single data object

Is there any reason I make a fuckton of calculation errors in physics but very few in math?

If placing street signs made of matter sets the speed limit for cars, would placing street signs made of antimatter set the speed of light?

>The obvious answer is neither but I suggest a game. Everyone here picks sides, either you think 0 is positive or negative. And then post properties that hold for positive (or negative) numbers that also hold for 0. The side that gets more non-trivial properties wins and gets to edit the wikipedia page for 0. I'll start.
>Property: For all c∈R2 the equation x2+y2=c has solutions. And so does the equation x2+y2=0.
>In other words, all circles with positive radius exist. But so does the circle of 0 radius. But no circle of negative radius exists, therefore 0 should be positive.

Everyone here with the smallest scientific education knows there exist rational methods to test scientific theories (logical consistency, experiments, etc.). But is there any rational method to predict the quality of a service or product based on what you know before buying it? Or are Amazon ratings of chink electronics and comments of isolated fuckups in restaurants the best tools we have to this day?

What's the fundamental ethical distinction between accepting a mathematical prize and accepting a salary/grant for doing mathematical research?

>2. The corollary to the Dunning-Kruger Effect was once again confirmed as many test takers who scored highly on the test did not accept their scores and argued that they were artificially inflated, falsely presuming that what they found easy was also easy for those of lesser abilities.
How is smart people thinking they're dumb a corollary of dumb people thinking they're smart?

It probably has something to do with the fact that it doesn't easily dissolve.

Is there any real reason the salty MGTOWs ITT think her Fields medal was just because she's a woman? There have been obvious affirmative action awards like Obama's Nobel Peace Prize but I doubt anyone ITT even understands her work

>They're not meant to be done in order at that point, only if you have some sort of preference towards one topic or another. Real analysis is supposed to be the point where stop for reflection and decide what purpose math should have for you.
What is your educational background even? I can't tell if you're an undergrad or did a major in something other than math

Why exactly is anyone against this? It could be like a race. Whoever reaches General Relativity in a shorter amount of time wins.
It took the West around 6000 years. If blacks can beat that record then they'll be crowned the new Master Race. If they can't, then /pol/ was right again. It'll only take a measly 6 millennia to confirm the bias of racists, or eternally BTFO them.
