Yes they have. Silly maths people. You lot of all people should know about numbers like 2 and 56 and 3.4.

# Dammit Fae, I'm a computer scientist not a mathematician
Unless you count discrete mathematics, even then it was mostly binary.

# this is like
an infinate number of mathematicians walk into a pub
the first ordered a pint of lager, the second ordered half, the third ordered a quarter and so on.

The barman said "There's your 2 pints of lager now fuck off"

# and in the same vein, did you know that motion is in fact impossible.
to get from point A to point B, you first have to reach a point that is half way between, but before you get there, you have to reach the point that is halfway between point A and that point, etc.

Therefore you can't actually ever achieve motion

# This implies a minimum unit of space, to resolve the problem
but that raises further problems, because the length of the diagonal of a square is an irrational number, and squares can exist, and therefore there can't be any units of space.

# Could try to make do with a minimum unit of time instead
but then Peter Lynds would pick a fight with you.

# hmm
Therefore you can't actually ever achieve motion assuming time is passing in a series of infinitely-halving time periods.

Or something.

# But how does an infinite number of mathematicians fit into a finite pub?
well, first we assume the mathematicians are 3 identical spheres, and that the pub is comprised of 5 uniform sections of a cylinder....

# it could also be at the intersection of a brane matrix

# it depends how big the finite pub is
its all relative, its probably a weatherspoons tho...
