What do you mean "refutation"? This is making you look as much of a crank as they are. There is no imaginary requirement to have a direct counterpart in the physical world, in "matter/energy".
Infinity, axiom of choice, .. are all tools. We use them because their presence gives us other helpful results. None of it has anything to do with "lumpiness of matter", "matter/energy", "experiental 4-space", "real line".
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoPerhaps I am a "crank". Refutation as in "you overlooked this standard point that undermines your position", like maybe "polarised light describes a perfect circle", or "the gravitational field of a black-hole (when shaved) is a sphere". AFAIK there's nothing truly infinite, nor perfectly geometric, that we can experience in our physical spacetime -- I'd like to hear from those who can show me that's wrong. The world itself isn't axiomatic, if certain theories/systems that are unfalsified show parts of it are infinite/etc. -- despite that just being a model -- that's an interesting result.
