Re: there is no such thing as "a little bit infinite."

God you have no idea what you are talking about.

Omega is the first (and least) infinite ordinal, Omega +1 the next...etc, on through Omega +Omega, and on and on and on through epsilon nought and beyond.

Infinity is not a unity, its partition-able, ordinal/orderable and etc. Some infinites are countable (in the strict sense. Obviously don't sit down and try it with even the natural numbers) some are not

Hint for the student: Don't go diving in dictionaries to try to understand mathematical terms or notation. The meanings do not translate.

For example, Omega is limited in some sense by it being the smallest uncountable ordinal, and less than Omega^2- so in a real way this screws your silly little dictionary definition. Essentially you can define the uncountably infinite in terms the countably infinite.

You do not understand mathematics, infinity, logarithmic spirals, or any of the other 'sciency' or 'mathy' terms you throw around. You should stop using them and open a book instead of staring narcissisticly in a magic mirror in which you only see how wonderfully bright you are, and not the truth- which is far less flattering I regret to inform you.
