Mathematicians have discovered a mind-blowing new kind of infinity

It may sound strange, but mathematicians have created an entire ladder of infinities, each larger than the next. Now a new kind of infinity threatens to upset that order, and perhaps redefine the structure of the mathematical universe ​It may sound strange, but mathematicians have created an entire ladder of infinities, each larger than the …
