I remember the first time I learned Cantor's proof about infinite sets, such as the natural numbers.<br>I was in shock!!!

Rather than "There is no last infinity," I would instead say "There's always another infinity," because that's more in line with Cantor's idea of Absolute infinity still being the conceptual ceiling.

Enjoyed fhis presentation very much. Accessible, logical and straightforward intro to the topic.

Is the power set theorem related to the mathematics leading to the Banach-Tarski Paradox? They seem to be related now that I've seen Cantor's work spelled out in set theory.

ah, i remember that one vsauce video that talked about this<br><br>nice to be refreshed on the wonders of the infinities

"There is no last infinity" so weird a statement it means we cannot (in finite number of steps) reach the top of the ladder... but each of the steps is something infinite....

I realized there are an infinite number of numbers between any two real numbers. Wow! Irrespective of how close in value those two numbers are!😊

Countable is fine I suppose, but I think discrete vs continuous to be more intuitive

Whenever I tell someone "there bigger infinities" they look at me like I said the moon is made of cheese.
