I considered deleting the post, but this seems more cowardly than just admitting I was wrong. But TIL something!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-5•6 months agoThat’s not a true statement. 2∞ < ∞ and ∞ < 2∞ is how you’d write it. Otherwise you could subtract infinity from both sides and get 0 = ∞.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•6 months agoeven if that’s not how you can write it, one gets the same issue in yours subtracting infinity from both sides
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•6 months agoNot true. 2∞ is not bigger or smaller than ∞. This is explained by Hilbert’s hotel. And subtracting infinity from infinity is undefined so you do not get 0 = ∞.

Except subtraction is not applicable in this case
