No, between them and nothing there are infinitely many countable sets and then finite sets of points.

 So your "smallest" wasn't the smallest,

Of course all gaps between unit fractions are made of more than finitely many points. I never denied that.

which becomes nothing when we get to the actual infinite set.

 Sure it does.

Try to learn the basics and to understand ∀n ∈ ℕ: 1/n - 1/(n+1) > 0.
