In order to correct your mistake, here are the details. In my proof we have: 1) The limit of the cardinals in set theory: aleph_0 2) The cardinality of the limit in set theory: 0 3) The limit of the number of digits in analysis: oo 4) The number of digits of the limit in analysis: oo
There is only one non-sensical result. But it is necessary to assume (2) in order to get the desired result Card(N) = Card(Q).
