If something encompasses Infinity, then it has to be a bigger infinity right? Or am I just misunderstanding how infinities work?

If encompassing infinity means containing infinity within itself then yea, it has to be bigger

 

[RALFdoang]

Yeah, it would be atleast infinite^1

 

[Catzlaflame]

Yeah, it would be atleast infinite^1

It wouldn’t. You just raised infinity to the first power, that’s the same exact thing as infinity. Like how 5^1 is still 5, 6^1 is still 6, inf^1 is still infinity it doesn’t represent any higher degree of infinity as opposed to say infinity^2 which would.

Yes.

 

[StekFence]

Yeah, it would be atleast infinite^1

It’s actually slightly more at least

 

[Vietthai96]

Yeah, it would be atleast infinite^1

Infinite^1 is just infinite x infinite = still infinite

If something encompasses Infinity, then it has to be a bigger infinity right? Or am I just misunderstanding how infinities work?

Depend, but normally, infinite mean have no end, thus you can still have something like "bigger". But honestly it is kinda hard to explain

My bad, i think the "^" equation is different for higher cardinality.

Yeah. Just write it out as "aleph 1"
