Person: If I start at 0 and count up in infinitesimal increments to the number one how many numbers must I count?

Wiseman: infinite

Person: and if i start at 0 and count up in infinitesimal increments an infinite number of times what number will I arrive at?

Wiseman: all of them

@freemo @math Funny enough, I don’t think this is true for hyper real infinitesimals. Certainly any finite sum of infinite reseals is infinitesimal, but I think a infinite sum of a single infinitesimal would have to jump straight to β€œhyper infinity,” the upper limit was n the corresponding compactification.

Yea its not real in any formal math sense I know of
