Well, let's say you have an infinite line of red and yellow sticks (yes, sticks. Because sticks are cool). Now, take away all the yellow ones. Since the amount of coloured sticks total is infinite, there's an infinite amount of yellow sticks and also an infinite amount of red sticks. The amount you take away (all the yellow ones), is infinite, yet what remains (the red ones) is also infinite. There, just took away an infinite from an infinity, yet infinity remains. In other words, infinity - infinity = infinity is 100% possible.Originally Posted by Tavrobel
These two can't be evaluated, actually. The problem with using infinity interchangeably with large numbers is that it doesn't work. You can;'t use it like that.
As for dividing, it's exactly the same. There's just an infinite amount of "different coloured sticks" that you divide into an infinite amount of infinite lines.
If you do it that way, it's possible.
