You're not using Cantor's Proof, you're using Cantor's Meta Argument. SHOW ME A LIST AND A ROW THAT EQUALS THE ANTIDIAGONAL. i.e. Show me a digit position where DIAG[d] = DIAG[d]+1 That's all your argument amounts to. 20 posters have repeated it 5 times each in this one discussion thread. You have NEVER produced a unique sequence of digits, and you can NEVER even get the 1st digit of an antidiagonal for this set of 10 diagonals. Digit 1 of diagonal -1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8--9--0- [P][P][P][P][P][P][P][P][P][P] . digit 2 of diagonal -1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8--9--0- [ ][ ][ ][P][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ] . digit 3 of diagonal -1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8--9--0- [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][P][ ][ ][ ] .... How many different digit sequences can you come up with with INFINITE amount of DIAGONALS?
