    That’s why my coffee shop hands out Gabriel’s Horn shaped cups. Bottomless, but finite volume. What a scam.

    But there are infinities which are larger and smaller than other infinities.

    -infinity is smaller than +infinity for the most simple example.

      Sure, “-∞ < ∞” is a useful concept, but it is not the same thing as when we talk about the sizes of infinities. What we mean by that is how many numbers it contains: (1,2,3,4…) contains fewer numbers than (1.0,…,1.1,…,1.5,…,2.0,…,2.5,…), but how large the actual numbers are, doesn’t matter. The second example contains just as many numbers, is just as “large”, as (1.0,…,2.0).

      edit: Sorry for the snarky tone, I was going for nerd maths boy. Hope I at least am technically correct.

    And that’s why nothing in nature is infinite. Except human stupidity if you want to believe Einstein.

    Life has no meaning. That gives us the freedom to create what meaning we want.

    The symbol of infinite is a stand in for a constraint, or an idea. That’s not the same thing as the real world expression or experience of that idea.
