What is proven cannot > be contradicted unless you can prove that 1 = 2. What is proven under false (self-contradictory) premises can be shown to be false. Here we have a limit of 1/10 from analysis and a limit of 0 from set theory. That shows that if set theory is right, we have 1/10 = 0 ==> 1 = 0 ==> 2 = 1. > >> The sequence 1/10, 1/10, 1/10, ... has limit 1/10. > > Irrelevant as the proof of the exitence of the bijection does not > mention that sequence. But the disproof of the bijection does. There is no reason to forbid that sequence. Regards, WM >
