I see no correlation between a dimensionless point and a line although it appears that math has made one. I'm just a philosopher so it's quite possible that I've got it all wrong.
It seems as though any location along a line is always the same location. If a location has no size then it can't be can't be added or multiplied to create a length.
So if a line is a distance between two dimensionless points and there is only one dimensionless point between them (see paragraph above) then all I see at first glance is three dimensionless points and (see paragraph above) I ultimately only see one.
So could someone enlighten me (in plain english) as to how to arrive at a line?
