Well it is interesting to that while we have infinities as regular
transfinite ordinals, there are yet "ultra-infinitists" grappling with
those would-be paradoxes stemming from our fundamental objects of
discourse and comprehension, in universal quantification. So, there
at least is consideration of the mathematical truth of "ultra-
infinitism", in foundations.
The continuum of real numbers: everywhere between zero and one.
