Every finite trolley passes infinitely many points when moves, if you accept space as infinitly divisible (structured as the real numbers).

If the leading wheels are allowed to continue any interval down the original track, uncountably infinitely many people die.

"Eventually" on the densely packed track - even if almost instant - means uncountably many deaths. On the upper track, any eventual stop will result in only finitely many deaths.

Sorry, that's only an option of you have a Pro subscription.

But getting anywhere on the lower track will kill infinitely many people. You cannot kill finitely many people on the lower track. Well, unless you derail at exactly the first. On the upper track, a stop at any point will have killed only finitely many.

Any non-empty interval on the real number line holds uncountably infinitely many points.

I think that wad the premise, yeah.

In any non-empty, finite interval on the real number line, there are uncountably infinitely many numbers = people in this thought experiment. If you think of physical space as continuous, we cross infinitely many points in any finite movement.

I'd like to see one of the numerous paradoxes you refer to.

I think you have to alternate the quotations you use between doubles and singles, pairwise. Else the first pair is closed after --format.

So you have to use a pattern like "command level 1 'level 2 "level 3" more level 2' more level 1"

Does that make sense?

TIL! Thank you!

A colleague of mine is very happy with the Punkt phone.

Nice info. Thanks!

Nope, just a new logo on an existing key.
