'Consider a connected diagram $(F_i)$ of fields and take the limit $F$ in the category of commutative rings. Now one checks that $F$ is a field as well, and the universal property remains true for fields. Namely, $1 = 0$ in $F$ would imply that $1 = 0$ in each $F_i$ and hence, since the diagram is connected, in some $F_i$, which is a contradiction. And if $x \in F$ is non-zero, then all components $x_i$ are non-zero and hence invertible: Choose some $j$ such that $x_j$ is non-zero. Since there is a zig zag path of morphisms between $i$ and $j$ in the index category, which get mapped to field homomorphisms which are injective, it follows that $x_i$ is non-zero.'

'Assume that the product $P := \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2}) \times \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2})$ exists. This field is isomorphic to a subfield of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2})$, hence $P \cong \mathbb{Q}$ or $P \cong \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2})$. In the first case, the two projections $P \rightrightarrows \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2})$ must be equal, which means that every two homomorphisms $K \rightrightarrows \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2})$ are equal, which is absurd (take $K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2})$ and its two automorphisms). In the second case, the projections induce for every field $K$ a bijection $\mathrm{Hom}(K,\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2})) \cong \mathrm{Hom}(K,\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2}))^2$, which however fails for $K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2})$: the left hand side has $2$ elements, the right hand side has $4$ elements.
