uncountably

uncountably
a) Too many to be counted (either by reason of being infinite or for practical constraints).

The stars in the sky are uncountably many, even a life time would not suffice to number them all.

b) In a way that is incapable of being put into one-to-one correspondence with the natural numbers or any subset thereof.

If a set is neither finite nor countably infinite, it is said to be uncountably infinite or simply uncountable.
