I cannot understand how there are “larger infinities than others” no matter how hard I try.

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.

It’s about the parameters you set.

There are infinite even numbers and there are infinite numbers, but the second infinity is larger than the first.
