*Some infinities are bigger than others*
There are two types of infinity, and it doesn’t stop there.
"Few numbers have exercised more fascination, and confusion, than infinity. I can remember asking my father at a young age whether space went on forever. He replied that this must be so because, however far you travelled into space, you could always stretch out your arm into a void beyond.
Same thing with time: will it go on for all eternity, and does it stretch back infinitely far into the past?
Philosophers and scientists have wrestled with these questions throughout the ages, but for most of that time ‘infinity’ as a concept was not well-defined. "
@design_RG I have watched a YouTube video on infinities ( I guess on Vsauce channel). It was really surprising the know there are different infinities. But i guess they are all the same in the end - "infinite"
@raining_night The really surprising thing for me was @Surasanji mention this morning, that there ARE different sized infinities.
That was unexpected, and I am not understanding why, or how it's justifiable. Mind blowing. 😃
@design_RG @raining_night yeah dude, that is the sort of stuff that makes head aches.
