Infinities

Here's a good article on infinities.  Some people are baffled by the concept of multiple infinities but it should be quite obvious that if we think of only whole numbers there are an infinite number of them.  Now if we think of how many real numbers can exist between any two whole numbers, there are infinities of those.

For example:

1,2,3,4...goes on infinitely.

But between 2 & 3 we have 2.001, 2.002, 2.003...which also goes on infinitely.

And then there's 2.01, 2.02, 2.03...which also goes on infintely.
