My Book on Infinity.

Please turn to page Omega+2 when you hear the chimes sound, like this: *

At least twice this past few weeks, it has re-occurred to me that infinity is big.
Let me clarify.
In math there are two broad categories of infinity: countable and uncountable.
Uncountable things are way way way way (way way .....) bigger than countable ones.
So you start to think that the countable infinite things arent really that big at all... after all, there are things that are so much bigger!
But they are big! There's always room for $n$ more.

I don't know who the author was, but it seems that there is an inexhaustible (infinite, if you will) supply of books on the subject.
