Long-Standing Problem of 'Golden Ratio' and Other Irrational Numbers Solved with 'Magical Simplicity'
The ancient Greeks wondered when “irrational” numbers can be approximated by fractions. By proving the longstanding Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture, two mathematicians have provided a complete answer. The ...
Most people rarely deal with irrational numbers—it would be, well, irrational, as they run on forever, and representing them accurately requires an infinite amount of space. But irrational constants ...

One participant proposes a general case involving the difference between a rational number and an irrational number being irrational, suggesting this leads to the conclusion that the sum of two irrational numbers can be rational.
But again, an irrational number plus a rational number is also irrational. Therefore, there is always at least one rational number between any two rational numbers.
Is there always at least one irrational number between any two rational ...
The discussion revolves around the construction of lengths that are irrational numbers, particularly in the context of geometric figures like right triangles and circles. Participants explore the implications of irrational lengths in both mathematical theory and physical reality, questioning the existence and representation of such lengths. Some participants question how an irrational length ...
