Super Buu, it isn?t a question of our intelligence, but rather, of the properties of deductive reasoning. I ?know? that I?ve got hair on my head. Along with a few other facts, that comprises my entire scope of knowledge. But, that has absolutely nothing to do with logical reasoning. Deductive reasoning would be using already known facts to establish a new, conclusive fact. For example:
All men are mortal.
Chris is a man.
Chris is mortal.
There?s nothing to dispute there. I know for a fact that all men are mortal. I know for a fact that I (Chris) am a man. Therefore, I deductively conclude that I am a mortal. That is deductive reasoning. Along with mathematics, those are the only two absolutes that govern our world (unless you believe in God, as I do).
Utilizing mathematics (an absolute), I have disproven the possibility of Infinity, because of its contradictory nature in absolute circumstances. It can not exist. It does not exist.
