Well, I found this off of Google:
"Even though infinity is not a number, it is possible for one infinite set to contain more things than another infinite set. Mathematicians divide infinite sets into two categories, countable and uncountable sets. In a countably infinite set you can 'number' the things you are counting."
So yeah.
That's referring to infinite sets of finite numbers. Not infinity + infinity.
You're talking about set theory there, that's not what your question in the OP was.
