:With a "mathematical object," the case is of course different - these are more mental constructs than anything else, which we picture as being composed of infinitely many points, which are infinitely small.  In order to perform a cut, we need only describe that cut.  So in this situation, it IS logically possible.  [[User:JacobB|JacobB]]<sub>[[User talk:JacobB|Shout out!]]</sub> 23:09, 6 June 2010 (EDT)

:::I do want to discuss this further, but need to cogitate about it more first.  Your analysis above assumes that matter is composed of indivisible particles.  I'm not sure that is completely known with certainty.

:::Miracles are events that are logically possible but very rarely observed and unexplained by current understandings.  But perhaps the obstacle is the understanding here, not the reality.  And this "paradox" may provide a window that can be opened to a fuller understanding.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 23:44, 6 June 2010 (EDT)
