We should remember that there are kinds of infinity.

One of the things that I have always understood was that this statement was wrong. There is only one infinity.

You can disagree if you wish, but if you really understand the concept of "Infinity" there cannot be separate "Infinities."

The concept implies unity.

Then your understanding is wrong. You might start with Vilenkin's "Stories About Sets" to get a better understanding.

There is only one infinity. OK, Hank, how are we going to tell LW we won't be slaves to this Infinity?
