12. We do not add infinity to the hyper-real line.<br />

13. The infinitesimals, the infinitesimals with<br />

negative signs, the infinite hyper-reals, <strong>and</strong> the infinite<br />

hyper-reals with negative signs are semi-groups with<br />

respect to addition. Neither set includes zero.<br />

∞<br />

14. The hyper-real line is embedded in , <strong>and</strong> is<br />

not homeomorphic to the real line. There is no bicontinuous<br />

one-one mapping from the hyper-real onto<br />

the real line.<br />

15. In particular, there are no points on the real line<br />

that can be assigned uniquely to the infinitesimal<br />

hyper-reals, or to the infinite hyper-reals, or to the nonconstant<br />

hyper-reals.<br />

16. No neighbourhood <strong>of</strong> a hyper-real is<br />

n<br />

homeomorphic to an ball. Therefore, the hyperreal<br />

line is not a manifold.<br />

17. The hyper-real line is totally ordered like a line,<br />

but it is not spanned by one element, <strong>and</strong> it is not onedimensional.<br />
