The Formal Method

How can, according to George Cantor’s version, formally determine that there is an infinite series of numbers that is more infinite than another infinite?

Simply by making a relationship (connecting in) between each member of the two sets.

So, if the members of the two sets can be connected one to one (bijective), then it means that they are the same amount of number, both have the same amount of infinite.

Put simply: there is an infinity that is shorter than another infinity. You see, this reasoning is much more absurd, but forcing it, as this is a mathematical structure.

There are 3 common averages: mean, median and mode. In some cases, the result of all 3 is the same number but in most cases the numbers are very different!
