The so-called Myth of Multiple Size Infinities

[Mohd Abdullah]

Someone said multiple infinities are absurd. I can't post the link btw because it's a non-mainstream theory. So there are actually, no multiple infinities?

Regarding Cantor's absolute infinity, is this the highest infinity that any man could stated? If there are other infinities higher than Cantor's absolute infinity, what would it be called?

Yes, brilliant mathematicians for hundreds of years have all been proven wrong by one dude in one link. Whenever you, or anyone you know, thinks they "disproved" a widely accepted theory, you're most likely wrong.

I didn't know about Cantor's absolute infinity, so I Googled it. It looks more like philosophy than math. I'm uninterested in philosophy.

Whoever said that clearly does not know what they are talking about and you should ignore them.

No. There are actually people on the internet who lie. You aren't one of those people who believe everything on the internet is true, are you?

Multiple infinities are not absurd. They are a necessary consequence of how mathematicians define the real numbers, functions of the real numbers, etc.

We do not discuss crackpot notions in this forum. Thread closed.

First and foremost, it is important to clarify that the concept of infinity is a mathematical concept, not a physical one. It is a theoretical construct used to describe the idea of something without a limit or bound. Therefore, the idea of multiple infinities is not absurd, but rather a valid mathematical concept.

Cantor's theory of multiple infinities, also known as the theory of cardinality, states that there are different sizes or levels of infinity. This concept has been widely accepted and used in mathematics for over a century. The existence of multiple infinities does not contradict the concept of absolute infinity, but rather expands upon it.

It is true that Cantor's absolute infinity is the highest infinity that has been stated by man so far. However, this does not mean that there cannot be higher infinities in the future. In mathematics, new theories and concepts are constantly being developed and explored, and there is always the possibility of discovering new infinities.

If there were to be an infinity higher than Cantor's absolute infinity, it would be referred to as a "higher infinity" or "super-infinity." However, it is important to note that this is purely speculative and has not been proven or discovered yet.

In conclusion, the idea of multiple infinities is a valid and accepted concept in mathematics. While Cantor's absolute infinity is the highest infinity that has been stated so far, it is possible that there could be higher infinities in the future. As scientists, it is important to remain open-minded and continue to explore and expand upon existing theories and concepts.
