Cantor's Toes


“Is Nature continuous or merely discrete?”

Asked the man staring at his toes

Wondering if the space around his feet

Was filled with material zeroes.

“My toes are ten, but what’s in between?

A space of points I cannot count!

If all the toes of the Universe were keen

Could they not sum up the amount?“

“If every toe married every speck ,

In a most monogamous way lets insist,

Their magnitudes of size would be in check,

However infinitely they might exist!“
