How Many Numbers Are There?

Post by **Gayno** » Wed Jun 26, 2013 10:13 pm

Debate I was having with Mrs Gayno t'other night (yes, our life is THAT exciting).

How many numbers are there?

I say ten - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and 9 and that all other numbers are only able to be because of the first ten.

She says infinite, all numbers are there own number.

What do you think?

Infinite, because 31 is a number.

But your logic only works because you are counting in base 10.
In that instance, you are correct, but it is a very limiting perspective.
