What about imaginary numbers?
- pmalynin 10y agoYou can still compare them, e.g two numbers could or couldn't be equal. Equality is a form of comparison
- jungans 10y agowouldn't this make all things comparable?
- taotao670 10y agoExcept apples and oranges apparently.
- DonHopkins 10y agoYou can compare apples and oranges alphabetically.
- wtetzner 10y agoAs far as I can tell, it's not that you can't compare apples and oranges, it's just often misleading.
- MichaelBurge 10y agoYou don't even have to do that: Just well-order the universe and use the resulting ordering for your less-than operator.
- ZenoArrow 10y ago1 != sqrt(-1). That's an example of a comparison between a real number and an imaginary number.
