Let \(k=\min\{n\in\mathbb{N}:n\sqrt{2}\in\mathbb{N}\}\).
But, \(k(\sqrt2-1)\sqrt2=2k-k\sqrt2\)
and \(k(\sqrt2-1)<k\).
\(\implies\boxed{\sqrt2\notin\mathbb{Q}}\)

Very interesting read!!
How and why irrationality takes hold, and what do to about it.
Why do people hold outlandish beliefs, and how modern universities are straying from their commitment to reason and truth.
