@bengraham3707 I started on a ZX Spectrum. My first personal computer was a 286sx. I even have a punchcard computer from my physics department. I became a coder and professional hacker. Your condescending assumptions should have you hang your head in shame. Next to me you're almost entirely ignorant on the topic.

@bengraham3707 it's all way over your head. shhh.

I'm curious, given your belief that the finiteness of the universe proves infinite processes cannot complete, how do you accept the "proof" there are unlimited (infinite) primes, or more fundamentally, why do you accept the proposition "we can always add 1". According to the argument that we can't compute infinite series in reality, we should also recognise all numbers are finite, therefore "we can always add 1" is false. This makes it possible to claim all integers are modular, although we don't know the very largest modulus which could be eg. the number of gluons in the universe. If you think about it, this would mean it's no longer true that primes are countable against integers. The whole house of cards crashes down.

@njwildberger oh excellent, I thought I'd seen a video where you gave P+1 is prime as a proof. Looking forward to that video! Do you agree then that there must be many less primes than integers? If that's true, then many expressions that are bread and butter of number theory fall over because they rely on there being a 1-1 (usually term to term in convergence test) relationship between integers and primes all the way to infinity.

I can complete challenge #3 for you; answer is a mesh of donuts that each have 4 punctures glued to their neighbours which extends ad infinitum (indefinitely) according to the described concrete procedure. You may recognise this as the "grid" underlying the rational numbers. "Reals" (which I call the Rubber numbers - used correctly they're like numbers that have no definable size), are the limit of indistinguishability where you can't see the holes - this is usually done either by specific construction or praying to a statue of Hilbert. Please check your unsw email for one from Tim.analyst, we need to have a proper chat.

@draconyster I actually was getting annoyed trying to figure out what was going on in my house, then took off the headphones and it stopped. Even if you don't notice, it makes things more taxing for the brain to have to filter that.

@draconyster I was more replying about not noticing, just to say it's still important for the channel even if many don't really notice. Otherwise I agree.
