Can you name a number that is bigger than infinity?

Even God can't come up with a number bigger than infinity, therefore God isn't omniscient and since he is not omniscient he also can't be omnipotent and since he can't be omnipotent, the christian God doesn't exist.

No.

>> No.4757006

It depends which infinity you're talking about.

There are is a hierarchy of infinities in mathematics, each strictly greater than the last.

All of the posts in this thread show that yet again sci does not have a fucking clue what it's talking about. That would be normally be fine, but unfortunately sci doesn't actually realise it's ignorant as fuck.

Are all the numbers up to infinity already laid out in math space or they're still going on counting forever?

Sure, <span class="math"> \aleph_{1} [/spoiler] is greater than one infinity, <span class="math"> \aleph_{0} [/spoiler]

See, the difference between that sentence and my sentence is that your sentence is just a bunch of random words while my sentence is a coherent mathematical expression that you are telling me to be wrong. I would ask you once again why, but it's clear you're very immature and have a kind off /b/-like attitute so I don't really expect you to contribute anything to this discussion.

Truth is, a lot of people on /sci/ has learned about infinity, real analysis for example. And a lot still post like they are the only people on /sci/ that knows something about a particular subject.

> Can you name a number that is bigger than infinity?

The word "number" is ambiguous. Are you talking about a real number? Are you talking about one of Cantor's transfinite cardinal numbers? It makes a difference.

Because of the simplicity of your question, I'll assume that you are probably not familiar with more advanced number systems, so I'll assume that you mean a real number. In that case, the answer is no -- there is no real number r such that r > ∞.

Assuming the generalized continuum hypothesis, it is. If it's true in general, it's not immediately obvious.

C* with the point at complex infinite is just S² which is just R² U {one point}

one point hardly makes a different with infinities...
