Answer 1

When we say that, the meaning is that “infinity” doesn’t necessarily mean “everything”. There can be an infinite set (all the number between 2 and 3) but this set doesn’t include ALL the possible numbers in existence (for instance the number 3).

In other words, just because there can be infinite possibilities in a set, this set doesn’t have to include every possibility.
