Imagine you have an endless row of cookies. No matter how many more cookies you add, the row is still endless. That’s like adding one to infinity, infinity stays the same because it never ends. If you think of a cookie jar that never runs out, even if you drop in another cookie, there are still just as many cookies as before.
Examples
- You have an endless row of cookies and add another cookie, still endless.
- A never-ending train ride gets one more stop, but it still goes on forever.
- An unending stream of stars adds one more star, and the stream is still endless.
