A horizontal number line going in the positive direction from zero is a countable infinity. (Aside: we are not that in terms of years, months, days, hours, moments, minutes, or seconds). A horizontal number line going in the positive direction from zero intersected at each real number by an infinite vertical number line is an example of an uncountable infinity.<br /><br />Mind —> Blown.<br /><br />Unfortunately, our number lines (conceived as timelines) are bounded finitudes. Dealing with that is what we are left to do.Jim H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02088100982761595050noreply@blogger.com
