Hi.
You are probaly correct (in the first sentence! I don't know
about the second... :-) )

One just have to be a bit carefull when doing calculations
then includes infinity. Like the fact that :

sum(all whole numbers) = sum(all squares of all whole numbers) Or

sum(1,2,3,4...)  = sum(1,4,9,16...)

(first descibed by Galilei and formalized by George Cantor.)

*but*

sum(all whole numbers) < (sum(all real numbers).

the sum of all whole numbers is one infinity called "aleph-zero" and
the sum of all real numbers is a *larger infinity* called "aleph-one"...

Well well... :-) :-)

Jan-Erik.
