What? This article needs serious work, there is no debate among any mathematicians or philosophers that I've ever heard of that infinite sets exist - just take the set {1,2,3,...}. Where does that set end, then? [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 20:13, 4 January 2010 (EST)

:I'm not sure, but I think the debate is whether an infinite set only ''theoretically'' exists. [[User:Levitican|Levitican]] 20:45, 4 January 2010 (EST)

::Excellent, excellent point Levitican. Material about the physical reality of anything hardly belongs in a mathematics article, a subject for which the real world is a special case. I have taken the material in question and placed it into a new section, but not removed it because it is the work of valued contributors here. [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 20:50, 4 January 2010 (EST)
