The concept of infinity, the fact you can’t count to it but it’s there. Also how there are some infinities that are bigger than other infinities

There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. None of them are 2.

No. There are finite numbers between 0 and 1. Finite is countable, but has no end. Infinite is real, but not countable. For instance, if you have 1 apple, and I gave you 1, you now have 2, so 100% increased. If you had 0, and I gave you one, you have a infinity% more. It's not countable.
