Yall are overthinking this one. How many odd numbers are there? Infinity How many odd and even numbers are there put together? Infinity They are the same amount.



Nah. I already said that. The point is that both data sets might not actually be equal. For the reason that I already stated. All infinite data sets aren't necessarily equal.

this one is deceiving. I assume this is using an infinite series? It's like the fact that if you added up all positive numbers together, the answer is -1/12. Yes, it's negative one twelfth.


Now that one actually blows my mind. I'm going to have to look up that proof and see if I can undertstand it.

They are. You can't have "more infinity" or "infinity + 1". Infinity is infinity.

You left out the coolest one:

It's possible to see back into time. We'd have to go faster than the speed of light (like a lot faster) to a certain distance (very, very far away) where the light hadn't traveled yet, but if we could somehow get satellite images back here, we could see historical events from the beginning of time on.

Yes. You. Can. For. The. Third. Time.

Supposedly there are proofs of calculus devoted to the idea. Look it up and do your own research if you don't believe me.

Say it for a fourth if you like to but you're wrong. Infinity is not a number but a concept. You're trying to think of it as an actual number.

So, in other words, it's not possible.

nope. there are half as many odd numbers and there are even and odd numbers put together.

What you're saying is like saying there are as many numbers between 1 & 2 as there are between -infinity and infinity. Just because they are both infinity doesn't mean that there can not be more or less infinity compared to another.
