I'm not at all happy with this page. I don't know a lot about transfinites but there are things here that worry me. Limit? Not in the normal sense. This needs expansion at least.

You can't just give something a name and hope that it won't introduce inconsistency to do so. Often it does. Going to have a think about this. Andrewa 10:50 16 Jul 2003 (UTC)


This is a proper noun. I have moved the page back to "Absolute Infinite" (with "absolute infinite" redirecting here). -- The Anome 08:55, 18 Sep 2003 (UTC)

In the see also section, what does "The Absolute" refer to?? Jaberwocky6669 02:28, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)

Allow me to redo my question, what is the "absolute" at the top of the article? Jaberwocky6669 02:30, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Did he seriously think this?

Is this serious? Did Cantor actually believe that "that every property of the Absolute Infinite is also held by some smaller object"? I mean, he was clearly an incredibly smart guy, but on the face of it, that's an idiotic opinion.

For example, it implies that there is some smaller object that is also larger than all objects besides itself. -Rwv37 04:25, Jun 27, 2005 (UTC)

Isn't the universe such an object? 24.174.45.155 21:33, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
No. The universe is an object that is larger than all objects besides itself. But that property is *not* shared with some smaller object. -Rwv37 00:41, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

The notion of multiplicity Cantor describes here can't possibly be the same as on multiplicity A multiplicity is called well-ordered if it fulfills the condition that every sub-multiplicity has a first element; such a multiplicity I call for short a sequence. 24.174.45.155 21:33, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
