Michelle Hughes on Nostr: I have this idea that, even among the natural numbers, there must be some numbers ...
I have this idea that, even among the natural numbers, there must be some numbers that cannot be named. Is that true? Like, an integer with an infinite number of digits and there's no repeating pattern to the digits? You could never name that number in a finite amount of time.
And, if these numbers exist, then it seems like almost all the integers would be unnameable.
Am I making any sense or should I be sleeping?
