You'd have to dig very deep into the search results before anything related to me on this website started showing up.

mine seems to be a pretty common username
nine down the list showed my home page listing ...
14 down the list, my listing on this meteorite site ...
7 pages in listing on 2 other forums ...
gosh, how far in do I have to go to get my PF and EP forums listings that I am VERY active on ?
Far out ! ... 20 pages in and no reference to my PF or EP activities but there are to several other forums, and like the meteorite one, not active for at least a year
There are also a few dubious sites that I swear I have nothing to do with hahahahaDave

There are a lot of people named JT Bell, so I get mostly hits from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. on the first few pages. There's also a Wikipedia page for a mathematician named Robert J. T. Bell.
My "Meet a Mentor" thread here finally turns up on page 4.

Aleph numbers are actually a mathematical thing, as it turns out. I read it in Aniara and thought Harry Martinson just made it up. So, yeah. 30 pages so far and nothing.

Have you ever seen or heard the opera that Blomdahl wrote about it?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aniara_(opera)
I have a recording of it, but I haven't read the libretto closely enough to know whether it mentions the aleph numbers...

And I was going to use this one in a fantasy story... I still will but I would have felt so much better if I was the first one to make it up.

No, I have not. I believe the pilot/mathematician comes up with some sort of groundbreaking mathematical concept reminiscent of the real life aleph numbers. It is possible that Lindegren left that part out. I can't remember if Martinson actually calls them aleph numbers...
