    There is a math field cold Set Theory which covers problems exactly like this. From their point of view infinity + infinity is infinity and has the same size.

    They use aleph-null as the cardinality of natural numbers = the size of all natural numbers, kind of infinity. As long as you can map set of numbers to natural numbers it still has a size of aleph-null. Doubling set of size aleph-null will give you only a set of size aleph-null since the numbers can still be mapped to the set of natural numbers.

    There is such a thing as countably infinite sets (the size of natural numbers) and uncountable sets.

    If you look at all real numbers, you will find out that there are many more real numbers and they can no longer be mapped to the natural set. The size of it is 2 to the power of aleph-null. Here you go, that's a completely different "infinity" that all natural numbers.

    Tell DD that doubling won't change anything, but 2^ will do the trick smile

    I hope I didn't mess it up too much. It has been a while since I took Theory of Sets.

    Thanks LMOM! Over my head but I'm pretty adept at shortening my learning curve when I apply myself.

    I do not get the lion and bear reference, but I love the clip anyway. smile Perfect "Bum Bum BUMMMMM" music there!

    Here's the Wikipedia entry for negative infinity: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_infinity

    Basically, think number line that extends all the way to the right as far as it can go --infinity--and all the way to the left toward the negative numbers as far as it can go--negative infinity.

    Voila!

    "I do not get the lion and bear reference,"

    Yeah........you're not the only one.

    (cricket sounds)

    Every so often I make an attempt at a joke that is very esoteric and extremey egocentric. I think it is hilarious, but alas, I laugh alone..

    So sorry....on a lighter note, thanks for the wiki reference!
