After all, infinity doesn't have to be large at all - negative infinity is the other way.  Or you can have stuff like 0.000000....00001 etc.

It's a philosophical debate whether a real life infinity exists though.

yeah it's a crazy concept... analogies like this just prove that no matter what the index of you number is you can never reach infinity... i was just trying to point out the scale of an infinite amount of something just thought it was a nice little mind bender
