    Did nobody have math class? The pictures are always misleading!

    It never actually specifies the density the people are packed onto the track, the image implies an answer.

    I’d argue that the densities should be considered to be equal, regardless of whatever that density value may be. We do not need to solve for the exact value to discuss the problem at hand!

      Yeah, we actually have two natural sets here.

      Doesn’t matter how far appart each person is placed when we are dealing in infinities. We still can map each one on each set without missing any. The cardinality is the same between them.

      A representation of the real set would imply infinite superposition of people on the track line… Which means they are already dead lmao

      I’d argue such an event would not only kill them but actually delete everything in that universe.

      This is all a convoluted way of saying we are already dead in this scenario.

      edit: correct integer to natural on first paragraph

      edit2: lmao I’m not the first
