How Big are All Infinities Combined? (Cantor's Paradox)

The video explores the concept of infinity, focusing on the cardinality of infinite sets and the paradoxes that arise when comparing their sizes. It introduces Cantor's theorem, which shows that the power set of any set has a greater cardinality than the set itself. The video also discusses the logical issues encountered when considering the totality of infinite cardinalities, drawing parallels to Russell's paradox. Additionally, it includes a segment on a set card game challenge, highlighting combinatorial problems and recent mathematical advancements.

Why is it impossible for a function from a set to its power set to be onto?
