I have watched many videos on YouTube about it from people like vsauce, veratasium and others and even my math tutor a few years ago but still don’t understand.
Infinity is just infinity it doesn’t end so how can there be larger than that.
It’s like saying there are 4s greater than 4 which I don’t know what that means. If they both equal and are four how is one four larger.
In: Mathematics
Imagine an infinity that consists only of all the odd numbers : 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 etc.
Imagine an infinity that consists only of al the even numbers : 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 etc
Either of these groups contains only half of all the numbers, but is still infinite.
Now imagine an infinity that consists of ALL numbers : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 etc
That last group consists of twice as many numbers as either of the first two groups, and so is larger. But they are all infinite.
