hey i was not to sure where to post this so sorry if its in the wrong place.
Well one time I heard from my old algebra teacher that there were two kinds of infinite. She said that a mathmaticion, whom I forget the name of, proved it. One type was that there are an infinite number of numbers and the other was that the number os grains of sand are infinte. I have been wondering who it was and what the two kinds of infinite were called, as I have forgetn what she said because it has been a number of years since. Also does anyone know why this is?
