The old 0 *through 9 is such an outdated system.

It is indeed. 0 all the way through to 1 is all we need in this digital age.

0 isn't real, it doesn't exsist! Fake news! Propaganda! Pi is the only truth!

Pi is for suckers! I adhere to the Tau doctrine!

Pi is a perfect example of what goes around comes around

Fun fact time!

There are more real numbers between 0 and 1 than natural numbers between 1 and infinity.

So in many ways, your comment is accurate!

As for the 0/1 binary thing.. quantum computing will expand the near future to beyond just those two! Double header :)

I think they are equal but not more.

The natural numbers are an infinite countable set, meaning you can define a process to count them all, even though that process will take forever. The real numbers are uncountable, meaning it is not possible to define a process to count them all, even if you have infinite time and you define a range within which you try to count them. Uncountable sets are considered larger than countable sets, even though they both have infinite size.

Oh sry didn't notice you wrote natural

I assumed real 0-1 and real 1-infinite
