Our mathematician says
\»Points are dimensionless
A point is a location in space
It cannot be measured.\» — he stress
I don’t get it. I raise my hand
\»Points are dimensionless
A point is a location in space
It cannot be measured.\» — he stress
I don’t get it. I raise my hand
And having got the permission
I formulate my point of view
That is to say my submission
\»… a point has no width nor length?\»
“And no height.” — my teacher adds
\»But look at this!\» – I take the pencil
And draw a thick dot on the sheet of paper
\»This can be easily measured… – I say
All one need is the ruler…\»
\»Wait a moment.\» — says the teacher
He takes a pin, he takes my picture
And punches the paper so thin…
It\’s barely visible…
My teacher smiles
\»This dot to measure are you able?\»
I’ve got it now — it’s like a hole
I see the point — a point has
No height, no width nor length
Points are bodyless
I guess…
