The Concept of Point in Geometry

[Info]

Hello
As defined in geometry, points have no dimension, but how may it be imagined reasonably such points with no length, no width and no thickness make up lines having length or planes having length and width as for the sum of any quantity of zeros is zero anyway. Thank you

In geometry, point, line, plane are taken as "undefined" terms in geometry.

Hi Info:

I like to think that points do have dimension and that there is no number small enough to measure it!

The Real number line is dense; one might even say it's uber-dense. No matter how far in you zoom, there will always be an infinite number of points between any two points on the line. If you zoom in an infinite number of times, you'll be no closer to measuring a single point than you were when you started.

By the way, which came first, the line or the point?

Cheers
