Cantor's theory was regarded as a challenge to what?
The concept of zero
The absolute infinity of God
The limits of algebra
The shape of the universe
Answer
The answer, the absolute infinity of God, refers to Theological concept of God's boundless and incomprehensible nature. Georg Cantor's theory of transfinite numbers, particularly his set theory, challenged this notion by introducing the idea of infinite sets with different sizes, suggesting a mathematical framework for understanding infinity beyond the traditional conception of an absolute, singular infinity associated with God.
