Again, I don't see how the hypothesis that

2^{aleph_0} = aleph_1

suggesting that if

2^{aleph_0} > aleph_1

and
1?
No, of course not. Again, you need to read
everything
in context of the claims. There is much more to
Cantor's theory than this simple proposition. The
OP's
claim depends on a geometrical interpretation of
the
difference between 0.999... and unity. If the CH
is true, no such interpretation is possible. If
the
CH is not used, the OP's terms are not
differentiable.

Well, I guess I give up. I still fail to see the
relevance of the
Continuum Hypothesis. Or what you mean by
"differentiable".


It should be obvious at this stage that he is
trolling ;-)



I find that insulting.
