The absolute infinite (more commonly known as the absolute), typed or written with the symbol ת, is an extension of the idea of infinity. It is the largest of the transcendental numbers. It never ends. The symbol for Pi (π) is commonly mistaken for absolute infinity (ת or ∞). Absolute infinite is sometimes confused with the regular well-known number infinite. Infinite and absolute infinite are completely different, although are looked at as mostly the same number. Around 1883 German mathematician Georg Cantor introduced his concept for absolute infinite in a book called Grundlagen einer allgemeinen Mannigfaltigkeitslehre, which also means "Foundations of a General Theory Aggregates" He described his idea as a number larger than infinite and stressed it to be connected to its philosophy as well. There are no larger numbers than absolute infinite, although people believe that absolute infinite is smaller than omega, omega 2, or omega 3. The omega's are more of a mathematical and philosophical concept than a real number.
