No... some infinities are smaller than others, as is easily demonstrated.
There are an infinite number of even numbers and an infinite number of odd
numbers. Those two infinities are the same size. However, there are an
infinite number of even AND odd numbers and that infinity is twice as
big as
the first two.
No, it's the SAME SIZE as each of the first two. THAT'S the one that
took me a week or two to wrap my head around. :)
