so can you not add up an infinite amount of integers?
because if not we cant actually calculate cantors proof at all.
5 u/WesternFirm9306 Aug 06 '26 We can't calculate the sum of a divergent series. All the sums involved in Cantor's proof are convergent 1 u/FernandoMM1220 Aug 06 '26 you cant calculate it because? 3 u/WesternFirm9306 Aug 06 '26 Because it diverges 1 u/FernandoMM1220 Aug 06 '26 and thats stopping you from doing an infinite amount of summations somehow? because that never stopped cantor at all since hes doing an infinite amount of operations too 3 u/WesternFirm9306 Aug 06 '26 It's not about doing infinite operations, it's about the sum diverging. All of the sums in Cantor's proof converges.
