There are infinite natural numbers. You can take each of those natural numbers and multiply them by 2 and get a new infinite amount of natural numbers. You can repeat this on the new infinite set ad infinitum. You can do the same thing with 3,4,5 etc. on any of those sets in any order ad infinitum. and exponentation, tetration, etc. on any of those sets in any order ad infinitum. Then that must mean that there are not only infinite infinities, but an infinite number of those 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 that infinitely times. And…) continues forever. And that continues forever. And that continues forever. And that continues forever. And…(…)…

Numbers aren’t real. They are measuring points. Another way to look at it, two objects are .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 nanometers apart. You can mathematically claim there are an infinite number of points that can measured between the two objects. Halfway between them, 1/4 between them, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, you can go on forever with fractional distances between the two objects, but in reality they can’t get any closer. There isn’t room between them for all the points one can claim to measure with math.

There is not infinite ANYTHING. There are concepts involving limitless algorithms, but the statement "There are infinite natural numbers" is false.

Nope, that's just aleph null, the smallest infinity. Aleph-one is the cardinality of the continuum, e.g. the real numbers. Multiplication and division don't move you from one infinite cardinality to another. But the conclusion is correct that there are infinitely many infinities. The actual reason is different.

OP is correct there in the first part. Infinity is not a natural number, but there are infinitely many natural numbers. OP is incorrect in the second part. It results in the same quantity of numbers (aleph null).

No.
At least they cannot be said to "be". Can you list them? No. Do they manifets in reality? No.
Natural numbers certainly go very high, but there is no indication of them being infinite in practice, only in theory.
>You can take each of those natural numbers and multiply them by 2 and get a new infinite amount of natural numbers.
No, even assuming infinite natural numbers you already had all duplicate infinite natural numbers the first time.
>You can repeat this on the new infinite set ad infinitum.
No, you cannot even do it once.
Same case for your other 3 calculations.
>but an infinite number of those infinities
Yes except no because there isn't even one.

Convenient, then, that numbers are theoretical things.

Did you just step out of the 1850s? The set theorists proved the existence of multiple infinities with bijection over a century ago

The definition of the answer to your question is unlimited. That does not mean "There are".
>>
>>
>>534072066
True, infinity is not a thing. Even the word is a misnomer the same way "nothing" is. To illustrate how these words are errors in language, it would be as if I said "I am a not-woman". We know there's something off about that, but why? Because a not-x isn't something, negations can't be used in the positive sense. It's this error in language that leads to errors in logic too, because infinity and nothing are treated as things when they're not. A thing is a thing, there is no thing which is not a thing. Whatever is finite is finite, there is no thing finite which is not finite. Things are by definition finite and limited, so there is no thing which is not limited or finite.

You can't math voodoo a logical contradiction into existence. The idea of multiple infinities is bordering schizophrenia.

So what is the cardinality of the set of natural numbers?

>That does not mean "There are".
What do you think it means for a number to exist? Can you point to 2? Not two things. The number.

>>534079737
>Because a not-x isn't something, negations can't be used in the positive sense.
They're perfectly cromulent as descriptors, which can then be nouned. So, some concepts are finite. Some are not. Those which are not are infinite (in-finite). Infinity is (that which is not finite). In math, it refers to a variety of non-finite concepts. Like, for example, the number of points in a circle.

>>534079849
>The idea of multiple infinities is bordering schizophrenia.
You can one-to-one map the natural numbers to the rational numbers, so they have the same cardinality, but you cannot map the natural numbers to the real numbers, because there are far too many reals for that to work. real numbers have a different (still infinite) cardinality than the natural numbers.

No, they can't, by definition. It's like trying to turn not-woman into a noun. The negation of a thing isn't a thing.
>some concepts are finite. Some are not
No, they're not, all concepts are finite because if it's not finite then it doesn't exist.
>real numbers have a different (still infinite) cardinality than the natural numbers.
Implying there are different infinities, an impossible absurdity. Only things, which are finite and differential can exist in multiplicity. Only things, which are finite and diffential, can have different sizes.

Math is an expression which is supposed to reflect reality, whether tangible or intangible. This means logic is prior to math, finite =/= not-finite, this is an iron clad fact. If your math starts accepting logical impossibilities it is schizophrenic.

I just did it there. What now, bitch?

>No, they're not, all concepts are finite because if it's not finite then it doesn't exist.
How many points are there in a circle?

>Implying there are different infinities
I straight up told you that and gave an example. If you don't understand the difference, I can explain in more detail.

>Math is an expression which is supposed to reflect reality,
No it isn't. Who told you that?

infinity is not a thing in that sense. it's an amount. amounts can have an absence of limit.

An error in language can't change reality
>How many points are there in a circle?
There is no limit to how many points there are in a circle, this doesn't mean that there is an infinity, or that a bigger circle has a bigger infinity. To say there is an infinity is like saying there is a not-woman. To say there is a bigger "x" implies that x is finite because only whatever is finite has a size and is different.
>No it isn't. Who told you that?
Ok so what is it supposed to be? Just some abstract nonsense which has no relation to logic or reality? It's worse than that actually because it can't even be conceived, abstractions should at least be conceivable, but a finity which is not finite is inconceivable. Why do mathematicians claim that they proved there are different infinities, that there are infinite sets, that infinity can be encapsulated if they thought math shouldn't reflect something about reality? Just admit then it's schizophrenic nonsense which has rules that the math priests made up and they dictated that a thing can be infinite because they say so, don't act like it represets reality at all.

>An error in language can't change reality
You claimed that some linguistic thing can't be done in reply to a post in which that specific thing had been done. The reality is just up the page for everyone to see.

>There is no limit to how many points there are in a circle
So the number of points in a circle is not finite.
>this doesn't mean that there is an infinity
Literally does.

>or that a bigger circle has a bigger infinity.
A big circle contains exactly the same number of points as a small circle (aleph-one).

>To say there is an infinity is like saying there is a not-woman.
Well, men exist.

>To say there is a bigger "x" implies that x is finite
Nope. There are just more ways for something to lack finiteness than you're aware of. So, for example, the counting numbers are infinite. There is no end to them. The number of real numbers between zero and one is infinite, but in a different way (you can add more numbers between any two chosen numbers, without end).

>Ok so what is it supposed to be? Just some abstract nonsense
If you don;t understand it, it's nonsense, but math in general is a bunch of different systems used to think abstractly about things. That's things in a general sense, not limited to the physical world. Though, often, these abstractions have useful applications. For example, the math of efficiently packing 24-dimensional spheres has implications for self-correcting digital codecs. Infinite series are useful tools in all sorts of engineering because that abstract infinity can model something in a way that can spit out the answer you want.

>>534081677
Could you answer the questions, then? Here, I'll repeat them for you.
