Why  Diagonal ?
Why  Diagonal ? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Georg Cantor published his diagonal argument in 1891. It’s a method for demonstrated that there are undenumerable sets of numbers.
Why  Diagonal ? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],It’s possible to construct a sequence that is different in the from all other sequences in the matrix, e.g.: s ω+1  =  (1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, …)
