Therfore real line has void.
Can you prove that? Why does the fact that every point is a finite
distance from every other point mean that there are gaps?
Because distanse between two points is finite (that is not necesarily
realnumber), we can take point at a potition of their middle.
What makes you think the distance is not necessarily a real number?
The distance between two points on the real line is their difference,
which is certainly a real. So the point in the middle is also a real
number.
