So what's the maximum length message that an MD5 number can hold?
Infinite - 1
No, no - infinity minus one is infinity. Or, more accurately, the cardinality of the set containing omega members is equivalent to the cardinality of the set containing omega minus one members (the sets are in one-one correspondence). What you mean is that the string can, in principle, be the length of any natural number.
