Abstract
Which objects (order types of total orderings) are the infinite numbers? Cantor answers: the infinite ordinals (that is, the order types of the infinite, well-ordered sets). In this paper, I argue that these objects are not the infinite numbers, but rather that objects of a different form are. Similar considerations will be seen to apply to infinite distance.
