I would question the ability to line people up on a railroad track such that they have a 1:1 correspondence with the real numbers.
It's totally doable because they are real people.
Yeah, for any length of track, you would need to stack infinite people...
If we are already dealing with infinities of peoples then we can deal just as easily with infinities of tracks. I just struggle to see what kind of power source the trolly uses to plow through that many people.
It’s powered by screams.
The blood of the innocent also works
We have nuclear subs, why not nuclear trollies?
Nuclear lasts a long time, but it's nothing compared to infinity.
An infinity cube, of course
Arbitrary precision engineering
just use a well ordering of the reals and you should be fine
The real question for me is what unit of distance would be used for the integer representation… It could take 1 meter, 1 Km, 1 Au, or even 1 Infinity to represent the distance between every person and the next. Also, are we using a linear or logarithmic scale?
This is not to mention the lack of info on how fast the train is going, and whether or not it’s accelerating.
