But which infinty. There is more than one!

Just ask yourself, "How many whole numbers are there in total? 1,2,3,4,5,6... 1000,1001,1002... Well there is an infinte number of whole numbers right?"

"OK, how many decimals are there between 1 and 2? 1.1, 1.2, 1.3... 1.3111, 1.3112...Well there are an infinte amount again?"

"So hang on a minite within the total number of whole numbers there are an infinite number of infinite numbers?"
