Please mark the sentence which you suspect to be wrong: - All natural numbers exist. - The even numbers have only half of the substance(*) of the integers. - Multiplication of all elements of a set does not change the substance. (*) For every interval (0, 2n] the number E of even natnumbers is half of the number N of natnumbers: E/N = 1/2. For (0, oo] we obtain the limit of the sequence 1/2, 1/2, 1/2, ... which is 1/2. This is the ratio of the substances or, as Cantor called it, the reality. Regards, WM
