There are infinite natural numbers. You can take each of those natural numbers and multiply them by two and get a new infinite set of natural numbers. You can then multiply each of those natural numbers by two and get another infinite set of natural numbers ad infinitum. You can do the same thing but multiplying by 3, 4, 5, 6… etc. ad infinitum. You can also do the same thing with exponentation, tetration, pentation, etc. with any of those natural numbers ad infinitum. You can do the operations in any ordering of the natural numbers ad infinitum.

That infinite set is just a subset of your first infinite set, thoughbeit.

Yeah, infinity is kinda wild like that. You can do all sorts of silly shit which don't make sense to human intuition. The problem is human intuition is fake and gay. Wait till you hear about irrational numbers. There's an infinity of numbers between any two mathematically definable points on the number line, which are not mathematically definable. What do you do with this information? Nothing, right?

Numbers go up to one trillion. Then you're talking about infinity. The way you view numbers is mutant.

There are two decimal places.
1.99 exists but 1.999 doesn't.
There is no leap into a 3rd decimal. Standing, it makes no sense.
Same as a quadrillion. It doesn't make sense as number.

People just appreciate the mutant logic.

>>16993309
You appreciate a quadrillion, but will never count to it. It doesn't make sense as a count. You've, somewhere down the line, combined base 10 with adding infinite zeros.

You want an intelligence test, try explain this properly.

I'm forgiven, it is a difficult hard problem.

What comes before infinity, ought be finite. What's finite about adding infinite zeros.

You need a finite set, at least.

>>16993309
I also heard a rumor that 3 doesn't really exist, it's just a concept of three-ness. You can have 3 retards arguing about it for 3 hours, but you can never have a 3. 4 totally exists though.

The pattern

One
Ten
Hundred
(A matter of hundreds).
Thousand
Ten thousand
Hundred thousand
(A matter of thousands).
Million
Ten million
Hundred million

Billion
Ten billion
Hundred billion

Trillion
Ten trillion
Hundred trillion

Is that the dude from spore bro dude haha also sci is a dying board and 4chan is a dying website btw lol.

You could count until you die anyway
