How many points are there on a line segment? Can you count them all?
Any
list (possibly infinite) of points in a given segment of a euclidean line
will not have every point in that segment on the list.
Note
that we can make a list of points corresponding to the rational numbers
once a unit length had been established.
1/1,2/1,3/1,4/1,...
1/2,2/2,3/2,...
1/3,2/3,...
1/4,
