      Fun fact: infinities can be different sizes, such that one infinity can be larger than another.

      They’re still infinities, with no end. Just of different absolute sizes. Fun stuff to rabbithole down into if you want to melt your brain on a lazy afternoon.

        Even more fun: nobody can agree on how many there are (some people say none!), and mathematics is self-consistent regardless of if you assume certain ones definitely do or definitely don’t exist.

      For all those who believe time is infinite please apply a logistic transformation to your dates.

      In what unit? They’re not scale invariant.

      Also in case you’re serious, I’m sure (by the pigeonhole principle) you’ll run out of exponents just about as fast as you would run out of integers.

      please apply a logistic transformation to your dates

      Which is definitely a totally normal and everyday operation that normal people do with dates
