    Don't go there. Everyone who does ends up in an asylum: Cantor, Godel et . al.

      It's even more than that,
      it's over 9000!

      Plus a handy explanation:

            Look Hilbert's paradox of the Grand Hotel.

            If a hotel has in infinite number of rooms and is full of guests, what happens when another guest shows up? Answer: they double every room number and have an infinite number of (odd-numbered) rooms free.

              Yes, and infinity is less than 6000 too. For example how many numbers are less than 6000 and greater than 5999?

                Ah good - someone understands the real number line.

                  The number of possible Real numbers is transfinite, not infinite.

                  However, the FTSE 100 index only has an infinite number of possible values.

                      transfinite cardinals? Are they the ones who dress up as choir boys?
