It is a real, true, result, in a space that is based on different rules than our physical reality. A ball in R^3 is composed of a countably infinite number of zero-dimensional points. It's an abstract concept that doesn't really have much to do with a physical ball that consists of a finite number of atoms.

Fundamentally, math is something that describes a large collection of possible worlds. Our universe is just a small subset of all the things that could be, and when using math to understand reality we have to remember that.



I'm pretty sure you mean "uncountably infinite" instead of "countably infinite".


Yep, thanks!


Not "possible", " imaginable". "Possible" is begging the question.
