This post is in cosmology (not number theory, eg, Cantor) because
our only (main) exposure to infinity is astronomical.
Folks have used infinity to predict that another ClamShell has or is
or will be typing this message...ballderdash...it would take an
infinity of infinities for this to happen. I accept that The Universe
has always been and was never born and cannot die. Other
explanations just don't seem to make sense. "The Big Bang" is not
even a grain of sand compared to the extent of The Universe.
Mathematically, I suggest, the only operation that makes sense
to finite creatures like us, is the ratio of two infinities. EG, the
infinity of points on a meter stick divided by the infinite extent
of The Universe equals a finite meter...simple as that; Occam
would approve. Also, the infinite amount of matter in The Universe
divided by the infinite volume of The Universe is the finite average
density of The Universe. How many of our precious constants are
really ratios of infinities?...all of them?
