"A Process" that "Goes On Forever" but "Is Never" "Actually Completed": "Counting 1, 2, 3β¦" without "End." * '''Actual Infinity''' β (Cantor). "A Completed" "Infinite Totality": "The Set" of "All" "Natural Numbers" as "An Actual" "Object." * '''Countable Infinity''' β (β΅β, "Aleph-Null"). "The Smallest" "Infinite Cardinal": "The Size" of "The Natural Numbers" (1, 2, 3, ...). "A Set" is "Countable" if "Its Elements" can be "Listed" (Put in "1-1 Correspondence" with "Natural Numbers"). * '''Uncountable Infinity''' β "A Set" "Too Large" to be "Listed": "The Real Numbers" are "Uncountably Infinite" β "Proven" by "Cantor's" "Diagonal Argument." * '''Cantor's Diagonal Argument''' β "A Proof" that "The Real Numbers" between "0" and "1" "Cannot Be Listed" β "There Are More Reals" than "Natural Numbers." * '''The Continuum Hypothesis''' β "Cantor's" "Conjecture": "There Is No" "Infinite Set" "Strictly Between" "The Natural Numbers" (β΅β) and "The Real Numbers" (β΅β). "Proved" to be **"Independent" of "ZFC"** by "GΓΆdel" (1940) and "Cohen" (1963). * '''Transfinite Ordinals''' β "Cantor's" "Extension" of "Ordinary Numbers" beyond "The Finite": "Ο, Ο+1, ΟΒ·2, ΟΒ², ΟΟ, Ξ΅β, ..." * '''The Absolute Infinite''' β (Cantor).
