You’re not teaching me anything other than things I know aren’t true on a universal level. Our taught math is completely based and adapted around smaller scale numbers and that’s why you don’t learn how infinity actually works cause for what you’ll use it will seem correct at your scale. But not on a larger universal all-included scale. At that level you need to basically be able to grasp the actual concept of infinity,… 🤷‍♂️ Try doing something more than your basic calculus.
