Really, great! I've got a handful of people that we can remove from
existence, thereby freeing up some memory for more of a different kind,

| Re .0:
What does an list of "all" binary numbers have to do with the universe?
There is no such thing in the universe, and there's no contradiction in
that. Cantor's diagonalization demonstrates a point of logic, not of
reality: You cannot, within the sense in which mathematical objects
exist, have a countably infinite list of all binary numbers (including
those that are infinitely long).
The mirror question is also simple. Mirrors do not reverse left-right.
Put an object in front of a vertical mirror and move it left, and its
mirror-image will move left. Move the object right, up, or down, and
the mirror-image will similarly move right, up, or down -- no reversal.
The mirror reverse front-back (a line through the plane of the mirror).
Move the object away from you (toward the mirror), and the mirror-image
will move toward you, not away from you -- its motion is reversed.
Move the object toward you, and the image will move away.
Why do people think left-right is reversed? Think about how you see
other people. If you were suddenly able to step out of your body, what
would you do to look at yourself? You would turn around 180-degrees,
and you would turn around a vertical axis. A 180-degree turn reverses
both left-right and front-back -- the left-side of the person you look
at is on your right side, their right is on your left, and their back
is further away from you in your front direction than their front is.
In short, we are accustomed to seeing people with the left side on our
right, and vice-versa. When you look in the mirror, you do NOT see
this; you see your image with its left on your left, and its right on
your right. That's the reverse of what you are accustomed to.

pointing this out to some people brings accusations of

Now...if you were to have access to an infinite mirror which in turn
reflected the image of the diagonally sectioned infinite number stream
will you in fact have two missing numbers, or will one missing number
negate it's own missing reflection? In other words what is the effect
of placing an infinite mirror into the equation which would reflect all
things visible...as a matter of discussion, would you in fact be able
to draw a diagonal line through the infinite number stream, as in order
to have an infinite number stream visible, then some form of physical
rule would have to be involked, thereby eliminating the possibility of
the physical existance of the infinite number stream...and if by
some trick of physics, you could catch an image of an infinite number
stream, then what reflective image would you expect to see in an
infinite mirror, assuming that two infinite entities could be contained
within a finite physical medium for observation... Another point to
consider, is if it is possible to hide something so that it cannot be
seen in an infinite mirror, as it would seem that an infinite mirror
would reflect all of space infinitely.
