How long would it take me to count to infinity?

>> No.10005420

INFINITY!!!

>> No.10005427

a couple seconds, just do it in increments of infinite

"zero"
"infinte"

done !

>> No.10005429 [DELETED] 

depends what number you start with. If you start with infinity minus five it shouldn't take long.

Since there are an infinite amount of numbers between 1 and 2 (1.45454..., 1.65435..., 1.23423..., etc...), you can count to infinity by counting to 2

Do you mean real numbers between 1 and 2? If so, they're by definition uncountable.

>> No.10006165

You just did

>> No.10006171

>>10005418
infinites don't really exist, they're just binary oppositions created by someone trying to X that which is by definition un X-able.

>> No.10006175

>>10005418
Hmm. I dunno. Maybe you should try it. It sure is a better use of your time than browsing 4chan.

Dumbass. Someone here clearly does not know how mathematics works.

>> No.10006261

>>10005418
0 -> 1 (1 second)
1 -> 2 (1/2 second)
2 -> 3 (1/4 second)
...
It should only take 2 seconds

but what if i was really good at counting

I guess so, kind of boring though

unlistable is a better word

>> No.10008004

it would take infinity multiplied by the average time it takes to count each number

This idiom is retarded cause there'd be infinite numbers between 1.0 and 1.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000...1000...

shits stupid. Infinity is stupid.
