The way to list all infinite real numbers and to construct a bijection between natural numbers and real numbers

Author(s): Shee Ping Chen*

Georg Cantor defined countable and uncountable sets for infinite sets. The set of natural numbers is defined as a countable set, and the set of real numbers is proved to be uncountable by Cantor’s diagonal argument. Most scholars accept that it is impossible to construct a bijection between the set of natural numbers and the set of real numbers. However, the way to construct a bijection between the set of natural numbers and the set of real numbers is proposed in this paper. The set of real numbers can be proved to be countable by Cantor’s definition. Cantor’s diagonal argument is challenged because it also can prove the set of natural numbers to be uncountable. The process of argumentation provides us new perspectives to consider about the size of infinite sets.
