Yeah, but mathematically one infinite series of numbers can be larger than another infinite series of numbers.
If infinity is finite then how is infinity an infinity? Aren't they just two big numbers.
It's not. But infinite series A can be smaller than infinite series B. The math behind this is complex, and more than I can understand. It uses something called "Godel numbers" which are ..... well, I don't understand it, but if you want to try, here is a good video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeQX2HjkcNo . An overview of how infinities can differ in size is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxGsU8oIWjY&t=4s .
I saw the Veritasium video before. My brain started to hurt half way through.
You made it halfway through? Wow ..... that's pretty good!
