The answer isn't intuitive in any language other than the language of math. It can be debated, because the solution cannot be seen with the eyes. Even when it is shown, it is not believed.
Math is beautiful like that. You have to trust it and you have to trust your teachers.
- slackenerny 17y agoThe answer isn't intuitive in any language other than the language of math Sorry for I might have not expressed myself clearly. "There is no number you can name between these numbers shown in this notation" is in English and appeals to intuition, it does not show that there is indeed no such number. Food for thought: http://scienceblogs.com/goodmath/2009/05/you_cant_write_that_number_in.php http://scienceblogs.com/goodmath/2009/05/you_cant_write_that... You have to trust it and you have to trust your teachers. No. Mathematics is a virtue of explanation (i.e. proving). No trust involved.
