Very true. He was led to these doubts upon noticing
the diagonal
method is flawed as we can always just insert the
diagonal to the
list. Alas, "cantor" was too much of a coward to
publicly admit the
error his ways, singing all the way to the bank,
and thus we are left
with the swindle of set theory, sneakily rotting
the brains of poor
impressionable youths.

No, Cantor was not a coward.

proof ?

According to a report by
Kowalewski

thats no proof.


(which however is not confirmed in other sources)


not a coincidence of course.

[G.
Kowalewski:
Bestand und Wandel, 1950, p. 202]

by accidents fans of cantor ...


the following
happened after the
(erroneous) proof by Koenig: After the lecture Cantor
took the floor
with deep emotion. Among other things he thanked God
that he had the
privilege of living to see the refutation of his
errors.


refutations ...



Further Cantor emphasized that numbers which are not
finiteley
definable are nonsense (Letter to Hilbert, August
8,1906)


see the comment of aatu and me

it implies that aleph_2 and "_3 dont exist or are nonsence
by the diagonal argument.



If he had
recognized (as every modern scientist does) that most
uncountable
reals are of this kind, he would have withdrawn his
theory with no
doubt.

thats no proof , lol

if --> then maybe --> i assume ...

btw the reals are already definable so i dont agree with you and i wont waste time on thinking about " if's -> then's "

Why don't you quote Wittgenstein on set theory?
