This always seemed so obvious to me, it annoyed me whenever anyone said "nO iTs iNFinIte, yOu caNT haVe mOrE tHan iNfInIte".
I mean you're stupid if you can't think that if you have 2 sets of equally unending numbers, and you add 1 more to one set, that that set is now no longer equal to the other one! That's just plain logic! But people insist on it not being true because they heard this interesting fact somewhere that makes them feel smart, that "nothing is bigger than infinity".
Nobody could have explained this better, it makes sense!!
Infinity is not a number..it is concept of something that is never ending.. that continues forever and forever.. numbers are definite, for example Pi is definite.. in the sense that it is a constant (a value) though it contains infinite digits in decimal system representation. In fact all no have infinite digits in decimal system representation.. ex: 2 is actually short representation of 2.000000000000000……. ie having infinite 0 after decimal..
Then if one infinity is bigger than another then one of them is not infinite
1 kilo of feathers is bigger than 1 kilo of steel! Because feathers are fluffy! boom! mindblown! hahaha! I'm so smart.
PS. In the context of their discussion, the concept was relevant, I'm just goofing around.
