    Bottom.

    Killing one person for every real number implies there’s a way to count all real numbers one by one. This is a contradiction, because real numbers are uncountable. By principle of explosion, I’m Superman, which means I can stop the train by my super powers. QED

      Either that or the humans are so “infinitely packed” that they’re probably already dead squashed into each other.

      Now, if you put infinite people in a chamber, and then compress the chamber and then put an infinite amount of compressed chambers inside a chamber… Will we have Real People?

      Also, almost all real numbers are undefinable. (Unless you’re using a model, that makes them countable.)

      So that means, that almost all the “humans” on the bottom track are something we can not even imagine in principle. Wouldn’t be surprised, if infinite Superman’s were among them.
