How do you compare infinities in mathematics, and how does it even make sense rationally?
For example, you have infinite numbers between 0 and 1 (let's call it a), and infinite numbers between 1 and 2 (b), and you have infinite natural numbers (c).
Is there any reason not to think that a=b?
Is a+b=infinity*2
Is the total amount of positive real numbers infinity*infinity?
If a and the size of the real set are not equal in size, why are they called the same thing?
