If a line is infinite, how can it have an end?

you have to cut it and look at the cross-section

So is this thread now about periods? Very confusing eagles and periods :shrug_n:

Do eagles have periods.

I thought the artist formerly known as Prince joined the planet board.

I'm pretty sure you meant to say: Prince, the artist formally known as the artist formally known as prince.

If you cut a line lengthwise, wouldn't it still look like a line?

You're assuming it's infinite in both "directions".

That isn't necessarily the case.

Consider the set of positive integers.

It starts with 1, but is infinite in the other "direction".

Ah, but the set of positive integers is only ℵ₀ infinite.

A line is c infinite.


And another thing:

Ah, but the set of positive integers is only ℵ₀ infinite.

A line is c infinite.

There is also a line at infinity, but I've only ever seen its projection.
