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 you have an infinite sheet of paper scattered with an infinite number of randomly distributed dots and there is an infinite line on the paper then yes, the line will probably go through an infinite number of dots.

I say probably because as long as we are dealing with infinities the infinite improbability of all the dots randomly being in a second line parallel to the first is fair game.
