Can someone explain how this is possible? it makes no sense to me. You wouldn't walk along the track surrounding a soccer field if you wanted to get to the other end... you would walk straight across the grass to reach your destination. Why did Einstein propose this?

So I'm reading the first page of Rudin. This is right after proving that there is no rational solution to x^2=2. How does this show that the rational number system has gaps? All it shows is that A has no upper bound and B has no lower bound. Is it really necessary to have two sets A&B perfectly...
