hummmm................

But that's the same as saying that 1.11111111111111111111111..... is a prime and so is tat number plus 1: 2.111111111111111111111....... Of course. But infinity doesn't have a size such as 1111111111111111111111111111...... or anything. It is a limit, and that's all. So itself cannot be sized and neither can any kind of infinity or addition ro multiplications includng infinite (s).
