Why Do Infinity and Half-Infinity Both Equal the Same Number?

Infinity is like a never-ending bag of candies. You can take out half the candies and still have infinity left, it never runs out! So even if you split it, both halves are still infinite.

Examples

  1. Splitting an endless line of people into two lines still leaves both with infinitely many people.
  2. Even if you take away all the odd numbers from a list that goes on forever, there’s still infinity left behind.
  3. You can have half-infinity, and it’ll still feel as infinite as before.
