Zuhair

Any number that it is possible to divide by, divided by itself had
better be equal to 1, or all of mathematics will collapse.

Zuhair claims to have "numbers" x such that x/x = x.

Not even TO is that far in the bag.

Ok , dear Virgil.

Aleph-0 * Aleph-0 = Aleph-0

so it is possible to say that Aleph-0/Aleph-0 = Aleph-0

Of coarse I now that Aleph-0/Aleph-0 = |x| : x<=Aleph-0

so division of Aleph-0 by itself don't reveal number one as you
thought. It results in a variable and not a number.

However Divsion of Aleph-0 by a finite number n yields Aleph-0 itself.
Same thing to be applied to heigher cardinals like 2^Aleph-0.

So for example [1/(2^Aleph-0)] /2 = 1/2*(2^Aleph-0) = 1/(2^Aleph-0)

So this small infinite number cannot be halfed
