How To Count Past Infinity

listen to what I say at exactly 0:40

-So can we count to Infinity? -ℵₒ

The seemingly random "post credits" scene was incredible. "Omega + one" indicates a number that is in order after the "last" of the natural numbers. Having that bit play AFTER the "end" of the video was absolutely genius and wonderfully creative.

1:00 How to count according to Michael: 40, 41, 42, 43, a billion, a trillion

9 year old me: Infinity plus one.

"Mom, Vsauce glitched my brain again!"

21:00 and this is why i absolutely love and adore mathematicians they're just like me "oh this is absurd that makes no sense but yknow what let's keep going anyway let's see how far we can go"

16:03 "we’re cooking now". I didn’t know people said this 7 years ago I thought that only came out last year?? How ahead of vsauce’s time was he?

"0=1" Yup, I've had enough of math today.

Important note about the continuum hypothesis (CH): It's not just that it's unsolved, it's actually unsolvable. CH has been shown to be logically independent from the ZFC axioms of set theory - that is, you can show that CH is not a theorem of ZFC and that the negation of CH is also not a theorem of ZFC. This is ultimately a consequence of incompleteness - any set of axioms and system of proofs must contain propositions which are neither provable or disprovable

This video is 7 years old yet still feels like it was uploaded yesterday

40: exists 41: I'm about to end this man's whole career

Fun fact: infinity+1 is bigger than infinity. Source: 7 year old me arguing with my siblings

“All we have to say is ‘Let there be Omega’, and it will be good.” Why does this sound like a quote from a fantasy movie lmao He would definitely be the cool wizard guy that guides the hero

Man, for some reason no matter how hard I try, I cant bring myself to stop watching. I ask myself, "When will i ever use this knowledge?" and my answer is never. But still its so entertaining to watch numbers over numbers of complexity and pretend i comepletely understand and I believe I understand too just because of his amazing teaching. Well Vsauce, you just gained another VERY big fan and subscriber. I got notifications going.

Never discuss infinity with a mathematician, they can go on about it forever.

I'm in tears (I exaggerated. Actually, better than in tears) and with thrills (shivers? I don't know English) each time I watch this video and the Theta is reached. Really big thanks to you, Michael, for having brought me joy, having brought me sense, after I discovered that atoms are not so tiny, galaxies not so big, the universe not so old (recent history is comparable with the history of life and Earth), that anything material is not surprising but that there are things, actual logical things (don't know how much this counts), that can go even way beyond what satisfies me, my hunger for the greatness and the epicness, and Sense. Sense of life to me is merely complexity. I discovered the magnitude if Graham's number and felt shocked. I discovered these "numbers" in the video, in respect to which Graham's is totally nothing (actually infinitesimal) just in comparison with the first one, the numeral infinite, aleph_0. I will take refuge in the ideal world. Mathematics, with its total rigor, the minimal starting points and its complexity, hasn't disappointed me much, yet.

we had dimensions in objects (e.g. 2D, 3D), and the way vsauce described infinities, i think we also found them number dimensions
