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.
