Countable infinite vs uncountable infinite

In the tiering system it says that if a character destroys a countable infinite of 4D universes it's nothing on a 5D scale, However if it is a uncountable infinite it is 5D what's the difference and more importantly how do you tell them apart?
 
I don't know that much about the dimensional scaling of particular universes.
 
I know that we consider that a set of 4-D objects ( in this case spacetime continuums) to have a 5-D volume analogue greater than zero only if the set is uncountably infinte. I think this has to do with the concept of a Hausdorff dimension, but I don't know much about this idea.
 
@Raian yes that's what the tiering system says on this matters but I was looking for more elaboration specifically how something is determined to be uncountable infinity and not countable infinity.
 
According to DontTalk, if you multiply a countable infinity by 0 the result is also 0, but if you multiply an uncountable infinity by 0 the result is unknown.
 
In practice, this means that if you place an uncountably infinite number of 4-dimensional universes on top of each other, the 5-dimensional volume is not equal to zero.
 
We normally assume that it is countably infinite, unless specifically stated othervise.
 
Such as if per say a character that should know what there talking about says a truly infinitely uncountable number of universes have been destroyed?
