why dont u just do an inverted power set thats a vacuum between the two but have antinumbers instead of reals.

I found a rule that makes the reals countable.

let me guess: this margin is too small to contain it :)

No but it needs to be proved.

An earlier comment is correct - Aleph-one means the second size of infinity, and since no one has proven the Continnum Hypotheis, we can't say that the cardinality of the continuum is aleph-one. You mean ro say beth-one.  Still a good video.

You've presented a very clear video examining some of the astounding ideas Cantor gave us. I have yet to take a class on set theory, but your video is good inspiration to consider doing so. Thanks!

Thanks much. Be warned however. Set theory can be mind-numbing. It's essentially 90% philosophy (the scary kind of philosophy).

Why wouldn't someone assume that all numbers are infinite; that all numbers are actually subsets of infinity? There are infinite points between the numbers 1 and 2 for example. Would not then 2 simply be a set of infinity?

You could do that if you found something useful in the process. Of course, in that case, it would be difficult to call it math since the number 2 has had a very simple, concrete, and finite interpretation ever since humans were counting their sheep

Yeah. I was thinking about Zeno's paradox at the time. To define 2 as infinity would be pretty useless if we are talking about sheep. I was thinking about space and time.
