Please look at the following diagram (
http://mathoverflow.net/questions/8846/proofs-without-words done by Jason Dyer ):
Verbal_symbolic-only minds take it a a proof without words that "The cardinality of the real number line is the same as a finite open interval of the real number line."
According to Traditional Mathematics a given length is totally covered by points. In this case Traditional Mathematics can't explain how a collection of the same cardinality, which totally covers a given length, can define different lengths.
And, had you read all the comments you would have noticed that proofs without words are usually useless and only usefull in very specific cases; cases that have been defined by... wait for it... words and symbols.
Because, Doron, in the first thread we all have already shown that even symbols *and* graphics are not fitting in anything you say.
This has been done. Maybe your mind does not reach back over the years, but my notes pinned to this thread do.
You are unable to prove a single *COHERENT* thing. You jump back and forth just trying to find something to 'invalidate' each and every participant in this thread, but are not able to do a single thing yourself.
And, we already had this exact same moment over and over again, in the end, you get nothing out of it.
Making everybody in this forum 'be wrong' does not make you right. This compulsive kibbitzing is doing nothing for your case.
I sincerely doubt that anyone in this thread is losing more time on what you think than it takes to read your posts and then post a bemused reply themselves.
So, again... make a coherent story, stick to it and prove it. I won't leave this thread, and probably jsfisher etc. won't either. But it is not that we feel threatened, it is, as the german term goes, schadenfreude of seeing someone make a trainwreck of himself.
Come on, do better than google 10 minutes and post the first thing that seems to agree with you, but doesn't
