makes sense to me. As a kid I always thought that, I'm not joking either. If you could get an infinite amount of numbers in between 0 and 1 then 1-100 has 100Xinfinity.

To me it's just spinning logic until the reader gets dizzy and just agrees. Saying there are different sizes of infinity is the same as saying you can have more of nothing than someone else. Say I have zero hundred dollar bills and Arwen has zero pennies. The problem with this whole thing is they are comparing numbers and non-numbers. Neither zero nor infinity are numbers.

I can kind of see what they are saying. But in our common thought, infinity is infinity. So what if one infinity goes beyond another. Either way it is unfathomable to us.

It kind of makes sense to me. But in our common thought infinity is infinity. Whether one infinity is larger than another doesn't really mattew. Both are unfathomable to us.
