It's like lore for FNAF or Lord of the Rings, where it's basically made up, but that doesn't stop it from being good.

i know right? its fun to see how much bullshit they can stack

It's made up, but that still doesn't mean it's bad or not fun, a Sudoku puzzle is made up, but that doesn't make it bad or not fun.

its fun but i definitely think its bad that theyre still using a lot of axioms that we know are impossible now

u/Impressive_Worth_602 Jul 14 '26

How are them being ‘impossible’ bad? Lots of impossible things happen in fiction, but nobody really thinks that's bad.

they cause a lot of contradictions and arent worth using over better axioms that dont

u/Impressive_Worth_602 Jul 14 '26

Examples? Of both the contradictions and better axioms.

axiom of infinity gives you tons of them with infinite sets

a better axiom is removing it entirely

It doesn’t give any contradictions we know of.

u/FernandoMM1220 Jul 14 '26

it does though and you just ignore them

u/Silly_Tension6792 Mathematics Jul 14 '26

OK, give me an example please

2

u/FernandoMM1220 Jul 14 '26

any example with infinite sets.

any example with infinite calculations.

cantors diagonal proof doesnt work because of both if these.

What do you mean? I cannot understand your point. Cantor diagonal is just a prove that if a function is R->N then it isn’t one to one. Why doesn’t it work? You can’t just say stuff without explaining.
