this is how cantor or cantorians solve algebra

I once jokingly came up with similar examples:

1) The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra fails.

For a polynomial equation of degree n has at most
n
solutions, but many of the OP's equations have
infinitely many solutions (as given above).

2) The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic fails.

For c = 2^aleph_0 = 3^aleph_0 = p^aleph_0 for any
prime number p. Thus c has infinitely many "prime
factorizations" rather than a unique one.

3) Fermat's Last Theorem fails.

For a^n + b^n = c^n has infinitely many
solutions,
just by letting n = aleph_0 and a,b,c be any
numbers from 2 to aleph_0. Then the equation
reduces to c + c = c.

Of course, the truth is that the above
Diophantine
equations were designed to admit only _finite_
numbers as solutions, not infinite numbers. In
ZFC equations which may lack finite solutions may
have infinite "solutions."

Notice that if we were to switch to the
hyperreals,
or any theory involving the Transfer Principle,
than an equation has an infinite solution
whenever
it has infinitely many finite solutions, and if
no
finite solution exists, than neither can an
infinite solution exist. Thus the Diophantine
equations 2^a = 3^b and a^n + b^n = c^n can have
no solutions other than the trivial ones (so
a,b,c must be >= 1, n must be >= 3), and so have
no solution among the hypernaturals.

And so the OP seems to be arguing against Cantor
because standard cardinalities do not adhere to
the Transfer Principle, and so may appear to be
a "solution" to equations with no finite
solutions.

hahaha

very funny

have you ever noticed this:

all brances of math are consistant with eachother

apart cantor set theory !!!

What do you mean by that?

For instance, multiplication of numbers is
commutative:

a*b = b*a

But multiplication of matrices is not:

A*B != B*A

What does "consistent with each other" mean when
dealing with different types of objects?

- Randy


take for example the complex numbers.

then the algebra model of the complex numbers is consistant with the geometry model.

even stronger it is actually equivalent.

non-commutative algebra is related to non-commutative geometry

number theory is related to algebra

and since algebra is related to geometry,

so is number theory.

in fact even topology is related to number theory.

if you read for instance the work of Riemann or even better prof. Andrew Wiles , you will notice an enormous amounts of connections between "different" branches.

...

apart from cantor set theory ...

similar for other sciences

calculus is used in them often.

but have you ever seen cantor set theory in a good physics works , proven to exist in the real world ?

nope

your not an idiot Randy

you actually knew this ...
