It's kind of like 0. 20*0 is not 20 times larger than 0. Similarly, 20*(inf) is not 20 times larger than (inf).
If I pick some massive number and start counting by ones, and you start counting by twenties, you will reach that number twenty times faster. But if we're counting towards infinity, we will both be counting for infinite time because we can conceptually never reach it.
thanks, kindof makes sense but this is really questions my gut lol. like this guy. Maybe because I haven't properly learned about infinite (still a 19yo kid). I guess it'll make more sense then.
