The discussion centers around the validity of multiple infinities, with some participants asserting that the concept is absurd and questioning the existence of infinities beyond Cantor's absolute infinity. Critics argue that dismissing multiple infinities overlooks established mathematical definitions and principles. The conversation highlights skepticism towards non-mainstream theories and emphasizes that rejecting widely accepted mathematical concepts is often misguided. Ultimately, the consensus is that multiple infinities are a legitimate aspect of mathematics, contrary to claims of their absurdity. The thread concludes with a reminder to avoid discussing fringe theories.

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.
 
Good morning I have been refreshing my memory about Leibniz differentiation of integrals and found some useful videos from digital-university.org on YouTube. Although the audio quality is poor and the speaker proceeds a bit slowly, the explanations and processes are clear. However, it seems that one video in the Leibniz rule series is missing. While the videos are still present on YouTube, the referring website no longer exists but is preserved on the internet archive...
