 February 28th, 2016, 03:19 PM #11 Math Team   Joined: Dec 2013 From: Colombia Posts: 7,621 Thanks: 2609 Math Focus: Mainly analysis and algebra We know of the existence of infinite decimals because we can know that all finite decimals are rational. We know that repeating infinite decimals exist because we can prove that they are rational. We know that non-repeating decimals exist because we know that there are numbers that are not rational. Infinitely many primes/rationals does not imply infinitely large primes/rationals, only arbitrarily large primes/rationals. A doesn't have to have infinitely large elements to be infinitely large. For example, the set of rationals between zero and one.

What is primes/rationals?

Infinitely many primes does imply infinitely large primes to exist.

No. Length of any prime number is fixed even if it is too large. If you think so, give an example.
