If there are an infinite number of whole numbers, and an infinite number of decimals in between any two whole numbers, and an infinite number of decimals in between any two decimals, does that mean that there are infinite infinities? And an infinite number of those infinities? And an infinite number of those infinities? And…(infinitely times. And that infinitely times. And that infinitely times. And…) …
>>23321206>an infinite numberThis is an oxymoron, it doesn’t exist
And if a small bird flew across the ocean and sharpened its beak on a mountain, and then flew back across the ocean to another mountain and sharpened its beak again, and if we waited until both mountains were worn away to nothing, and we repeated the process for as many numbers as your post mentions, you still won't have a gf
>>23321206infinity isn't a number
>>23321206It's basically meta meta numerics and you can't just multiply stuff together. The set of real numbers is nothing like the set of integers and that's the weirdness you're pointing out.
>>23321206the power set of any set has a strictly greater cardinality than the set. so yes there are an infinite number of infinites, just take the power set of an infinite set to get a bigger set, and then take the power set of the power set and so on. but the infinity of the number of decimals between two decimals is the same size as the infinity of all real. numbers, and you could map the interval [0, 1] onto the entire real line so they are basically the same set, so there's not really infinite infinities in the way you are thinking.

I remember I went through a phase a few years ago where I was really obsessed with Laos. It's a fascinating little country and they were repeatedly bombed by the US during Vietnam. I'd appreciate if anyone can recommend some interesting Laotian writers or books if they know any.
>>23321803There's a book published a few years ago called How to Pronounce Knife, which is a collection of short stories. Some of them are okay. The book won a couple of prizes.
>>23321803If you're interested in the period during the Vietnam war there's a nice memoir by an American guy who lived there and married a princess. It's called "In A Little Kingdom." (Perry Stieglitz)
offtopic. this is a /lit/ board, not math. and the count of real numbers is infinity, but the count of whole numbers is referred to as "aleph sub naught". there are branches of mathematics that deal with the mathematics of infinity.>>23321265>>23321435t. non-STEM
>>23321206Infinite infinities is sort of like a truism, meaningless phrase. Infinite infinities is already implied by the concept of infinity itself.
>>23321206There is really no such thing as infinity.
>>23321206>Georg Cantor has entered the chat
>>23321265Pi is infinite because it never stops getting shit added to it. You can say that it's between two set integers but you can't also deny that it keeps being infinitely added to.Also tf does this have to do with literature.
>>23322625im literally going to drop aleph-0 on you and youre going to cry
>>23322840No, pi is irrational. The brainlets are really out in force here, aren't they.
