      Do not trust math. Math is some shifty ass shit. Did you know that between any two irrational numbers there is a rational number yet there are way, way more irrational numbers than rationals?

      Did you know that there is a function that is continuous everywhere and whose derivative is zero almost everywhere yet takes every value between 0 and 1 as x goes from 0 to 1?

      Did you know that there exists a way to cut a solid ball into finite disjoint subsets such that the ball can be reassembled into two balls of equal size?

          My friend pointed out that there are more infinite numbers between 1 and 3 than 2 and 3 and it ruined my day

          There are not. There are precisely as many infinite rationals between 1 and 3 as there are between 2 and 3; and precisely as many infinite irrationals as well.

          This is the paradoxical nature of infinities and is a motivator for the concept of "measure". [1, 3] should be "bigger" than [2, 3] but cardinality is insufficient.

          without analytic continuation on the zeta function, lots of physics doesn't work :D

          Make a square of length 1. Then from the upper-left corner(s), cut out a square of length 1/2, then 1/4, 1/8, etc. At each step, the circumference of the remaining polygon is 4. But if you repeat this infinitely many times, you'll get a triangle with circumference 2+sqrt(2)pic.twitter.com/RJpXu6KMOd
