In the top case has it been arbitrarily decided to include space in between the would-be victims? Or is the top a like number line comparison to the bottom? Because if thats the case it becomes relevant if there is one body for every real number unit of distance. (One body at 0.1 meter, and at 0.01 meter, at 0.001, etc)

If so then there's an infinite amount of victims on the first planck length of the bottom track. An infinite number of victims would contain every possible victim. Every single possible person on the first plank length. So on the next planck length would be every possible person again.

Which would mean that the bottom track is actually choosing a universe of perpetual endless suffering and death for every single possible person. The top track would eventually cause infinite suffering but it would take infinite time to get there. The bottom track starts at infinite suffering and extends infinitely in this manner. Every possible version of every possible person dying, forever.

Geez, disconnect the trains so you can hit both lines at the same time, obviously.

I use the lever to kill the train driver.

I reject the premise since there will only ever exist a finite number of people. They will all die. One day the last human will die.

Bottom. Greater probability that it gets stuck in the corpses.

Imagine being the first one being killed on any of these tracks.

The probability of that is...?

Mathematicians tell me, please, because my mind is breaking.

Doesn't matter, there are not enough people to try this anyway

Okay, so what’s the point of “proving” that there some “infinities” are “bigger” than others? What’s the practical application here? Because an infinite hotel with an infinite number of guests is physically impossible, so I don’t see the point.

Hold the lever halfway so the trolley picks both rails at the same time, to ensure highest possible kill comboq

Like everything else in this holographic universe we live in, I’d just close my eyes and believe the bodies I’m trampling are imaginary.

I take the square root of all the negative real numbers and kill in an entirely new dimension.

I remember seeing a science show on PBS where the presenter explained how there are different infinities by using set theory and the integers/reals. That was mind-blowing at the time.

I would pull the lever and then steal a bus and knock the trolley off of the track, killing the least amount of people possible.

sort them so you kill one person first, then 2, then 3, then 4...

there are more real numbers than integers though

"smallest"?
