>>14218506>YWNBARN>RNOP, it's not a number period. If it was a mathematician would have defined it by now.
>>14218542Mathematics does not apply here. Because it isn't a number
>>142190453000 BC and arguably earlier. And they figured out that you couldn't apply math to something that wasn't a quantity, yeah.
>>14219054The triangle exists. The problem is that math can't quantify or measure it and ends up self contradicting itself.
>>14219075>I dont understand the endless argument over this. Surely it would be more productive to ask why some constructs result in imprecise values?Mathematicians quantify. What you're seeing now is what happens when they can't.
>I have never heard an explanation that explains why irrationals exists or what the significance of their existence tells us about mathematics.It basically means math cannot quantify reality to a discrete standard of measure. This kills the atomist.
