If I recall correctly, don't coordinates in 3-D and rational numbers have a higher cardinality than integers?

[/ QUOTE ]

yes, they do

Integers =

Rational numbers are effectively X

Coordinates in 3D are X X

(for those of you who don't know, X in this case is read "cross", meaning cross product). Cross products of 2 (or more, obviously) sets are always higher cardinality than the originating sets

edit: you know what, i think this is wrong. rational numbers are the same cardinality as integers, so i guess crosses are not necessarily larger.

i can't remember about 3 dimensional coordinates.

edit2: obviously, my statement about cross products is true for finite sets
