- Title
A Puzzle About Points.
- Authors
Segal, Aaron
- Abstract
The article looks at the zero-size points in space and aims to bring out several problems associated with the assumption that points are what physical objects or regions of space are made of. Topics include the contradiction that physical objects in space are positive, the arithmetic sum calculation of points, and several calculations pointed by Peter Forrest, point calculation including the Axiom of Choice. Other topics include the intrinsic and extrinsic point-size relations.
