| Jun 2 at 11:31 | comment | added | Dark Malthorp | Nitpick on an otherwise excellent answer: you say that there doesn't "seem to be" anything infinite in the real world, but I'm not sure how this could be the case. By the nature of infinity, it's unobservable infinite. But it's usually considered plausible that the universe extends infinitely in space, or that spacetime itself is not discretized and therefore infinitely divisible, though obviously neither claim could be definitively proven. | |

| Apr 5 at 15:36 | comment | added | ac15 | hi, @kouty, i think i don't really understand this notion of 'step delay' | |
| Apr 5 at 15:32 | comment | added | kouty | @ac15 please red my edit about non temporal delay. | |

| Apr 5 at 14:30 | comment | added | ac15 | hi, @kouty, any of the usual introductory books on set theory - as halmos's "naïve set theory" or goldrei's "classic set theory" - should cover the 'technical side' of these issues, but i'm afraid i don't really now of sources explicitly discussing the 'philosophical' part that also interests you. maybe trying to figure out such things on our own is an integral part of the exercise, who knows :p | |
