Throughout history, many completely different concepts have been lumped together and hidden behind the single word "infinity." The fuss raised over this concept, and the fog in which it has remained perpetually shrouded, have caused many different meanings of the same word to be confused as simple variations on one another. Thanks to Cusanus and Cantor, however, we can now affirm that there is not just one singular infinity, but many plural infinities: both literally and metaphorically. We will therefore attempt to tear away the false mask of the singularity of infinity, to reveal its true multiplicity.
