Tav (number)

While in the process of discovering higher and higher transfinite cardinals, Georg Cantor denoted one transfinite to the last Hebrew letter of the alphabet; Tav, Taf or Taw as some people say, were one among the many cardinals.

It is not exactly told what is the representation of Taw, but it was absurd to imply that Taw had the cardinality of all cardinals, which makes it contradict to itself, in parallel to the Burali-Forti paradox with the Absolute Infinite, the largest conceivable "number" one could conceive. No notes were given to show that it was either an indescribable cardinal or an inaccessible cardinal. Cardinals that hold at least one property of the Absolute Infinite.
