@tedu @science_memes @fossilesque Can we space them out so the frequency is the same? 😂

I actually would like to choose the track where the number of people increases by one (so 1, 2, 3, 4...) and then the train will kill -1/12 people

PS Yes, I know this sum result is problematic, it's only a joke

I pull the lever and invoke Zeno's paradox to ensure the trolley's position remains < 1 for eternity.

I quickly carry the people to the other side so they all can get run over.

As an Engineer with a Physics background I say the most ethical choice is the real numbers side as the tram, having no room to accelerate between victims, will quickly stop, whilst it's more likely it can keep going for ever on the integer branch of the line.

A more effective vehicle for this would be a tank or maybe a steamroller.

(Note to self: keep this in mind if I ever become an Evil Overlord and need to execute large numbers of people in a gruesome manner)

Probably pull the leaver cuz then I can jump in front of the train.

This is a complex problem, hence I pull an imaginary lever and divert the trolley onto the imaginary number line to kill infinite imaginary people. No one cares because they're imaginary

I'll do nothing. Either way those people will eventually die - because of the train or because of starvation and dehydration. I would prefer the train.

Infinity people always die. Even if you don't make a decision.

I come to an agreement with the person who has tied these people to the tracks to untie every 2nd person. I save an infinite number of people!

Jump in front of the trolley, someone else's problem

Since there's an infinite number of people to kill in either case I can just do nothing, and thus by inaction most of those infinite people will have more than enough time for someone else to rescue them. Maybe the State, that's what they're there for.

I am sure even countably infinite people would violate some law of thermodynamics.

The top track can be assumed to be of infinite length, but for the bottom track this is not enough - to fit ℵ people on it, they'll have to be infinitely compressed. And since they are compressed - they are already dead. I'm not pulling the lever - preventing the (farther) desecration of corpses does not merit killing people who are still alive.
