Some infinity’s are bigger than others

Let me explain let’s say theoretically you made a list of all whole numbers down to infinity, whole numbers being numbers with not decimals or fractions (1,2,3…) and let’s also say you made a list of all irrational numbers, infinite decimal numbers in simplest terms . So let’s say you made a List
Of all whole and irrational numbers down to infinite, this is all in theory and we can’t really test this but we don’t need to, as it’s already proven. After we do this let’s take the first number of the first irrational number, and one to it and for the second number of the second irrational number, take it and add one to it, and so this with all numbers on the list ( again this is all just in our heads, we can’t actually do this, but it is still proven) once we do this we will have a new real number, but how is this possible, we already listed them all, but of you remember we took a number from each irrational number on that list and added 1 to it so it is different than any number on that list, making that infinity Bigger than the whole number infinte.
Cool right?

Hmmmm never thought about it like that

I'm definitely 20 percent dumber after reading your diatribe 🤔

Cantor called.

He wants his proof back.

Do you think this is a result of the definition of infinity.

It's not really a number it's a concept.

I think maybe someone's been smoking some infinitely good stuff...
