How Does Infinity isn’t a number. It's something much weirder. Work?

Infinity isn’t a number, it’s more like a never-ending journey that you can’t finish.

Imagine you have a super big bag of candy. No matter how many pieces you take out, there are always more inside. That’s kind of what infinity is like, no end in sight!

Like Counting Forever

If you start counting: 1, 2, 3... and just keep going, never stopping, that’s like being with infinity. You’ll always have another number to say next. It doesn’t stop, it just keeps on going and going.

Infinity Isn’t a Finish Line

Think of infinity as a race with no finish line. Even if you run for hours, days, or even years, the end is still far away. There’s always more road ahead. That’s how infinity works, it doesn’t have an end; it just keeps going.

So when we say infinity isn't a number, it's like saying there’s no last step in a never-ending staircase! Infinity isn’t a number, it’s more like a never-ending journey that you can’t finish.
