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?

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.

So mathematically there’s this funky concept that some infinities are bigger than others. There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1, but there are more infinite numbers between 0 and 2.

Honestly, for your sanity I’d not think too hard about it
