Question regarding different levels of infinity and also possible reevaluation for space time continuum

Hi, I need some math nerds for this.


You may click on the link above for info about greater infinities.

From what I know, the VBW lists a universal space time continuum or a timeline perse, as a Low 2-C because of the fact that time is infinite and contains an "uncountable infinite" or Aleph 1 amount "snapshots" of a universe or reality. My question is how can we say that time has aleph 1 amount of points? Epsilon Zero (which can be read from the link above) is basically omega (which is basically infinity) ^ omega ^ omega...... ^ omega (omega amount of times). And Epsilon Zero is still way smaller than Aleph 1. Basically to sum it up, exponentiation can be used in two different scenarios, cardinal and ordinal. We might be mixing these two up but correct me if I'm wrong cuz I might have missed something from the tiering system
 
I think the wiki assumes the continuum hypothesis which says there's no infinite between aleph null and one iirc
 
Ordinality =/= Cardinality

Epsilon-Zero still has the cardinality of Aleph-0. The Omegas of Epsilon Zero do not increase its size, since they are not cardinals but ordinals instead. It cannot be used to represent the first uncountable infinity (which is Aleph-1). If you want an Epsilon number that could represent the size of a timeline, it would be Epsilon-One, which would be the same as Aleph-1, so in the end Aleph-1 is the correct choice anyway.

As for why a timeline would be Aleph-1 sized: In the same way a line (1-D) has R amount of points (0-D) attached to it, a timeline would have R amounts of 3-D snapshots attached to it. In this case the line would the timeline itself and its points would be each infinitesimal 3-D moment/snapshot.

What about for examples of infinitely branching timelines? Why are they considered Low 1-C? Instead of just 2-A. Isnt that below Epsilon Zero?
 
They arent. At least not inherently.


Check the Branching Timestream/Crosstime section. It is considered Low 1-C because of 2-A timelines infinitely branching.

Btw by R, u mean Aleph 1 right?
 
But correct me if im wrong. Infinitely branching timelines is the same as
"omega ^ omega" or "infinite ^ infinite" amounts of timelines correct?
 
U can read the CRT where it got accepted ig

There is a more updated CRT of the Ben 10 Cosmology here


And you can check the Ben 10 cosmology page that I sent in my previous post.
