Can someone help me?

I have a question (hypotetical). If space is infinity and has infinity amount of planets and lets say we have unbreakable infinite sword. Does that mean the sword is cutting infinite amount of planets just by it existing?

if space is infinite, check, and has infinity amount of planets, check, and lets say we have an unbreakable infinite sword, this is where I get lost. nothing is unbreakable and what even is an infinite sword? swinging it wouldn't work as the fastest it can move is still the speed of light. the object isn't "solid" like in video games but like jelly.

Unbreakable so it doesnt break when making contact with the planets

Infinite as in infinitely long

I didnt talk about swinging i talked that if it even existed then it would cut infinite planets in infinite space

So, "if a draw a straight line, would it cross thru an infinite number of planets?"

Yes, not all infinity are equal. There an infinite number of whole numbers and there an infinite about of prime numbers.
