Mathematicians Casually Discovered Two New Infinities (www.popularmechanics.com)

Infinity contains everything, including multiple kinds of infinities.
Mathematicians have long known that there are many kinds of infinities (technically, there are an infinity of them).
Mathematicians revealed two new kinds of infinity—called exacting and ultra-exacting—infinities that appear to contradict foundational mathematics.

The concept of “infinity” appears simple at first glance, but becomes increasing more complex the more you think about it. Infinity means a never-ending sequence of numbers trailing off into, well, infinity. But that also necessitates that there’s technically an infinite number of infinities forming a hierarchy of ever-greater complexity.
