Numbers so large as to be silly, the mind can't comprehend. Or can't comprehend anything larger.
Some cardinals: Aleph 3. (Aleph 2 could be the number of real functions. What is aleph 3?). Then, aleph omega.
Some ordinals: Omega, Epsilon nought
200: somewhere around here, it becomes too large for the mind to keep track of individually different objects.
11: What does "Turn it up to 11" mean, when the scale only goes up to 10? The mind boggles.
1: The probability of certainty. Certainty is impossible to comprehend in this uncertain world.
0.995: A probability so large the mind has difficulty distinguishing it from certainty. (= 1-1/200 above)
