Allow me to step in on that question Howard. There are camps in mathematics that can show that some infinities are larger than other infinities. For example, there are an infinite number of odd integers and an infinite number of even integers. Man in the street says they are the same size right? Does that mean that the total number of integers are twice the size of the evens or odds? Is twice infinity really twice as large as one infinity? But we can sit from now until doomsday and for every odd or even integer you give me, I can think of an even integer to match. I don't know if I can answer that. Didn't go for the Piled Higher and Deeper in math. My gut says no, because infinity is indeterminate, so 2 times that is still indeterminate. Plus, we usually say that one pile is bigger than the other pile when we take away the same number from each and ultimately one pile is exhausted while the other still has members left. Think of two teams, one with two people and the other team with but one person. Each person throws out an infinite pile of Longhorn dung. The combined piles of the two man team should be twice as large as the third person's pile. But since they are both infinite in size, you can never exhaust either one of them can you? Now how's that for a Friday afternoon post while we wait for an event whose date is definitely indeterminate at this point. TG
