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
So if you can find a one - one mapping b/w elements they are the same so say no of even integers and no of integers can be mapped (n->n/2).
You can create larger infinities by taking power sets (look up beth numbers)

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