Maybe numbers cannot adequately describe infinity. Like digital recording, something is always left out.
To: Red Badger
” ...the landscape of large cardinals...”
Hmmm. Where to start?
To: Red Badger
I don’t know about anybody else, but I know when I’m crunching numbers on some quantum formula, I hate when I start discovering new infinities. That’s just so annoying.

Like dividing by ‘0’, you can ‘approach’ it but never arrive there..............

How many rational numbers exist between zero and one?

Maybe numbers cannot adequately describe infinity. I’m pretty limited. I’m can only describe Xfinity.
They suck.

Most of ‘em are fairly trim, but you do find a few real porkers in their ranks ...

I’ve been on Free Republic for 10+ years. So I’m permitted to comment on an article after only glancing at the title. I don’t get why fat Catholic prelates are so very affected by mathematical theory.

The female cardinals aren’t so bright red as these, more of a brownish red.
To: Red Badger
Exactly ...
BTW,
Some people complain about the patriarchy; they say that Cardinals are all men ...
This lovely lady disagrees.

Like dividing by ‘0’, you can ‘approach’ it but never arrive there.............. Reminds me of a similar example my high school science teacher used of standing a distance from the wall and then stepping half the distance toward the wall, and then half that distance, and so on and so on…., but never reaching the wall. I knew it made logical and mathematical sense but it was (and still is) unintuitive mind blowing. Of course, at some point you would be talking about step distances that were smaller than subatomic particles (and continuing to get even smaller), so that thought exercise would test the bounds of other theories eventually.

Well just settle for half infinity then, like infinity but only the even or odd numbers. They’re infinite too, except for when you want the other half of infinity.
See? I’ve got it all figured out.

I was thinking about Infinity cars with large red birds on top.
