Is the “infinity” between numbers actually infinite?

238 views

Can numbers get so small (or so large) that there is kind of a “planck length” effect where you just can’t get any smaller? Or is it really possible to have 1.000000…(infinite)1

EDIT: I know planck length is not a mathmatical function, I just used it as an anology for “smallest thing technically mesurable,” hence the quotation marks and “kind of.”

Infinity is actually not the biggest number. (Not even *technically* a number, more of a concept really)

There are multiple infinites, and some are bigger than others (by a lot).

And I know what you’re thinking. This is actually true, I promise.

If anyone reading is interested in learning more, lookup “how to count past infinity” by Vsauce on YouTube. It’s buried deep, but I believe the answer to your question OP can be found in this video.
