Set theory proves no such thing, what set theory can prove is that any sequence of numerals in which the number of zeroes between the decimal point and the first non zero digit to its left increases without limit has in no NON_ZERO digits in that limit.

The sequence a_n = 10^n and its limit, oo, certainly have the actual properties required, even if they do not have the ones that WM made up out of whole cloth. > > Don't worry. In matheology everything is possible
Only because WM created it and is its sole author. So much so that everyone else calls it "WMytheology".

Set theory is a fairy tale, said Tarski. ZFC is a set theory in which nether Tarski nor anyone else has found any internal inconsistencies.
And the set of mathematicians for whom set theory is regarded as an essential part of modern mathematics is huge! --
