Spin the funnel
Authored by: mexaly on Wednesday, July 04 2012 @ 06:07 PM EDT
There's a common function (is it logarithm?) that, rotated around the ordinate,
defines a surface. The volume inside the surface is finite. The surface is
infinite. That means, if you had perfect paint, that dries with no thickness,
you could never paint the inside of this surface, but you could fill it with
paint.

IANAL, but I watch actors play lawyers on high-definition television.
Thanks to our hosts and the legal experts that make Groklaw great.

Like the Cantor set, but hey, who's counting?

Yes, but any reasonable measure of a real line or a "real" line, will
rule out silly sets like a point or the Cantor set. A swipe or slide is mappable
to an interval on the real line (open or closed, they have the same Lebesgue
measure).

You can't have a subset of the Real line which isn't Lebesgue-measurable unless
you also dispose of the protean Axiom of Choice in all it's guises, like Zorn's
lemma. That's sort of throwing out all of Mathematics with the bathwater.
