There are infinitely many real numbers between 0 and 1. Are there twice as many between 0 and 2, or are the two amounts equal?

Question

I know the actual technical answer. I’m looking for a witty parallel that has a low chance of triggering an infinite “why?” procedure in a child.

Answer 1

Not all infinitys are the same. Some are larger than others. What you have here is infinity times 2. The uncountable infinity between 0 and 1, and the uncountable infinity between 1 and 2.
