Reply to comment by Future_Seaweed_7756 in There’s just as many numbers between 0 and 1 as there is from 0 to infinity. by Resinate1

lemme try.

for every x in R such that 1 < x < infty, there is exactly one number (1/x) in R, s.t. 0 < (1/x) < 1.

also vice versa.

there's a bijection between the two sets, therefore they are the same size.

am i missing something?

Oh for fuck sake… Yeah, obviously the word didn’t just get invented. New TO ME, okay? I really didn’t think my wording would confuse anyone.

No problem. Jeez, now I feel like a big bijection for blowing up about it.
