Since this is unreadable by peons, I can only speculate, 
but provably unprovable sounds like a useless tautology.

It isn't. It rather shows that - like the speed of light in physics - there
are some rather unexpected limitations to what is possible in mathematics.
For many years mathematicians believed that, given a set of axioms, every
possible theorem in the given field can be proven to be either true or
false based on logical deduction from these axioms.

Goedel showed that this is not always the case (see the continuum
hypothesis). This implies that there are things in mathematics that cannot
be proven. This culminated in Goedels incompleteness theorem, which is
considered by many mathematicians as a severe throwback in maths.

Regards,
Stuart

It turns out that the basis concept of cardinality is ill-formed.
All infinities are the same size.

The number of real numbers is the number of adjacent geometric
points on a number line, countable using integers.

Nonsense. Infinity doesn't have a size by definition.

Congratulations your answer is more precisely accurate than mine.
I did not provide the more precise answer because it would have
been to much for the target audience to handle.

So Cantor was not just wrong about differing cardinality
he was dead wrong.

One can count all of the (otherwise uncountable) real numbers by
merely counting all of the adjacent geometric points on a number line.

No, it is not.  Cardinality is a mathematical concept with a
mathematical definition.  It turns out that we can do useful and
interesting things depending on certain extra features that we can
choose to define, or not to define, but that does not make the
definition ill-formed in any sense.

The cardinality of the set of real numbers is /easily/ shown to be
bigger than the cardinality of the integers (countable infinity).
(Well, /easily/ if you know that kind of mathematics.)

Since you posted a link to the Wikipedia article on the Continuum
Hypothesis, did you actually attempt to read it?  The second line sums
up the hypothesis:

"""
There is no set whose cardinality is strictly between that of the
integers and the real numbers.
"""

The implication from this is that you have at least two different sizes
of infinity, the cardinality of integers (aleph_0) and the cardinality
of real numbers (2 ^ aleph_0).  Whether you accept the continuum
hypothesis or not, you can't get past that sentence and still think
those two cardinalities are the same size.

Yes I am aware of diagonal argument.
You did not pay attention that I just refuted this:

The next real number after 3.0 is the geometric point on the number
line that is immediately adjacent to 3.0 on its right side. This geometric
point is an infinitesimally larger than 3.0: encoded as the first point in
the interval: (3,4]

The "diagonal argument" that could be relevant here is used to show that 
the size of the set of rational numbers is the same as the size of the 
set of integers.  It is not relevant to the real numbers.

Incorrect.  There is no "point adjacent to 3.0 on its right side".  Here 
is a very simple proof of that, by reductio ad absurdum :

1. Assume there is such a real number, and call it "x".

2. Let "y" be "(3.0 + x) / 2".  The reals are a field, so this is 
another real number.

3. We know that "x" is strictly greater than 3.0, by its definition.  So 
"3.0 + x" is strictly greater than "3.0 + 3.0".  Thus "y" is strictly 
greater than 3.0.  Similarly, "y" is strictly less than "x".

4. So "y" is a real number to the right of 3.0, but to the left of "x". 
This contradicts the definition of "x".

That statement is logically correct, but unhelpful.  The cardinality 
(whether you mean the concept of "cardinality", or the statements I have 
made about infinite cardinalities) is not bogus.  And the Continuum 
Hypothesis is not based on any particular cardinalities, in that both 
the CH and its negation are consistent with the cardinality of the reals 
being strictly bigger than the cardinality of the integers.

You made the fallacy of equivocation error when
you change the term geometric point into real number.
There is a geometric point that is greater than and adjacent to 3.0
3. followed by an infinite number of "0" followed by "1"---> 3.0∞1

3.0∞1 is indivisible because its Infinitesimal portion is indivisible.
3.0∞2 / 2.0  is 1.50∞1
3.0∞2 / 3.0  is indivisible

It is already self-evident that ALL the geometric points on the number
line is ALL the real numbers, thus the Infinitesimal number system counts
ALL the reals.

This is the brand new Infinitesimal number system.

And between 3.0 and your "next" number (xnext) to the right is another 
real number: (3.0+xnext) / 2.

I specified a whole Infinitesimal number system:
Real_Part[Infinitesimal_Part] where the Infinitesimal_Part is the number
of geometric points offset from the real part.

0.0[1,∞] specifies the entire set of geometric points with a value
greater than zero on the number line which self-evidently corresponds
to the entire set of positive reals.

Notice that this entire set is countable using the set of positive integers.

If they are countable you can always list them in the counted order. 
With my above example I can always construct numbers that are not in 
your counted set. This disproves that you have counted them all. It 
disproves that they are countable at all.

You can construct a number that is not on any point of the number line?
In other words you can construct a number THAT IS NOT A NUMBER.
That would be a (categorically impossible) neat trick.

Reinhardt, let me urge you to take a look at comp.theory before
deciding whether it's worth your time to discuss anything with
Pete Olcott.

Either way, please drop comp.lang.c++ from the newsgroups list,

of geometric points offset from the real part.

0.0[1,∞] specifies the entire set of geometric points with a value
greater than zero on the number line which self-evidently corresponds
to the entire set of positive reals.

Notice that this entire set is countable using the set of positive integers.

My infinitesimal number system forms a bijection between the integers and
all of the geometric points on a number line.

We already know there is a bijection between all of the geometric points
on a number line and the set of real numbers.

Therefore the set of integers and the set of reals are the same size
and Cantor was wrong about cardinality.

The line segment [3.0, 4.0) is exactly one geometric point longer than (3.0. 4.0).

There is a geometric point immediately adjacent to 3.0 on the number line.
This geometric point does correspond to a number because it is on the number line.

Now I have to correct my prior reasoning. All of the geometric points on
the number line correspond to all of the numbers that exist. Some of these
are not real numbers.

Since we can count all of these numbers with integers using the infinitesimal
number system we have proven that the set of real numbers is not larger
than the set of integers.

Real_Part[Infinitesimal_Offset]

0.0[1 to ∞] forms a bijection between the positive integers and all of
the positive numbers through all of the positive points on the number line.

(1) Do you understand that all of the points on a number line are all of the numbers?

(2) Do you understand that a bijection between the integers and these points would make these points countable?
