They say in an infinite multiverse versions of you exist. Yet there's an infinity of fractional numbers between 1 and 2 with no whole number 3 between, so infinity can exist without every possibility.

You made me realize that we always think of infinity as an immensely large number, but it can be an immensely small number (0.0(infinite)1).

So thanks for making me realize infinity stretches in both the inifinitely large and the infinitely small. Wasn’t expecting to get a ride on the total perspective vortex from showerthoughts today.

Very good, what you described is called an Infinitesimal, and it is a building block of Calculus.
