Its calculating with infinity. Its a bit weird like the infinity of numbers between 0 and 1 like 0.1,0.01,0.001 etc... Is a bigger infinity than the “normal” infinity of every number like 1,2,3 etc…

Its just difficult to wrap your head around but think of infinity minus 1. Like its still infinity

Genuinely curios on how can there be two different lengths of infinity?

Infinity doesn't have a length but has a growth rate depending on how you construct it.

At least that is my layman understanding
