Infinity seems impossible to tame intellectually, and to bring within the confines of human understanding. I will argue, however, that Cantor has tamed it. The good news is that Cantor&rsquo;s mathematics makes infinity clear and consistent but does nothing to reduce the awe-inspiring grandeur of it.</p></blockquote>
