For that matter, the real numbers are fake as fuck. "Ah yes, let's just throw in uncountably many non-computable numbers." They have played us for absolute fools.
Big math is laughing at us right now
The set of all rational numbers has zero size in the real numbers. And yet, they're fucking dense, meaning you can find a rational arbitrarily close to any real number. I mean, what the fuck?
That's it, I'm Amish now. I use inches and fractions of inches, and that's as far as my numbers need to take me
No that just makes you an American Mechanical Engineer.
Their subset, irrational numbers, is somehow worse
"there are as many even/odd/prime/composite numbers as there are numbers"
g(63)? TREE(3)? BB(10^100)? Rayo's Number? Fuck outta here with that fake bullshit
Yeah TREE(3) is so big, how can you possibly know that there are that many evens??
