Infinity is not a number but a concept. There are different sizes of infinity. For example, these are all technically true:
♾ + ♾ = ♾
♾ x ♾ = ♾
♾ - 1 = ♾
♾ + 1 = ♾
There are more numbers between 0 and 1 than there are whole numbers at all. The number of whole numbers is infinite but it’s also the smallest infinite number. The number of irrational numbers between 0 and 1 is 2^♾, which is a bigger infinity.
