−	I deleted the part that said that for no infinite set was there a bijection between the set and its power set. I am fairly certain that this is undecided. It certainly is known that the proposition <math>\displaystyle 2^{~~\aleph _~~{n} } ~~= \aleph _{ n+1~~ }~~</math> is undecidable, so~~ I ~~am very suspicious~~ of ~~a proposition that such a cardinality as <math>\displaystyle \aleph _{n>1} </math> exists at all. Or are these cardinalities known to exist after all~~? ~~If so, how are they defined? —~~[[User:~~Boy Soprano II~~\|~~Boy Soprano II~~]] 21:35, ~~26 August~~ 2006 (EDT)	+	{{AotD tag\|January 25th, 2008}}
