There are an infinite number of infinities, and many can be ordered in terms of
their “size”. The problem is you need an infinite number of Alephs to talk
about them all. The real question is can one talk about all those infinites in
an Aleph null number of ticks?

They have betrayed themselves. The number of anything cannot exceed infinity.
Otherwise they are playing a shell game with what they mean by infinity.

Hi Bob and Martin,
On a Mac the solution is to use the Option and 5 keys. The result is: ∞
All you really had to do was G∞gle it!
I remember the math class discussions of a googol and a googolplex.
Then I recalled that some infinite sets are bigger than others.
The following article will real
I'm not at all surprised it took you forever to figure out infinity.
I sent your solution to a friend. :) Brilliant.

Excellent Martin! My new view on infinity.
Reminds me of a joke the list may appreciate to clean off the mud.

bottles. Two detectives show up and the first one says “well this is certainly
a very odd case”. The second
I fell off my chair laughing.

Thank heavens this policy change has finally come. Baseless accusations
can end up affecting perception. Surrounded by negative criticism one can
actually blame LC for defects that exist in oneself. It has happened to
me, where I've tracked down the defect in my own work just before I was

I didn't know the keystroke for infinity.
