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
List every possible number between 1 and 2
1, 1.00001, …. 1.99999999 etc
Now do the same for all numbers between 10 and 20
Both are an infinite series, but the second is across a wider range.
This is not a perfect analogy, but as you can see two infinite series can have differing scales
