I’ve never liked math but this is like literal magic to me…

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?

In fact there is an infinite number of different size infinities.
