Re: Infinityscrapers

Does anyone have conlangs in which they've given names to the various
kinds of infinity? Ie countable, uncountable etc.... I've never really
done much on it, but I know there are people mad enough to devote vast
amounts of time working out the rules of multiplication and powers etc
amongst infinities. Now those are REAL mathematicians, not just the
posers who only do useful things with maths lol.
