I think it may be beyond my B at GCSEbut even still the integers thing just seems, not counter intuitive, but bollocks.
Oh concept, if between 1 and 2 there are an infinite amount of decimals (wrong word?) you would never actually get to two for two to exist therefore there couldn't be the other infinity.

xeno's paradoxit arises because people mistake counting for mathematics. just because you can't count everything between a and b, it doesn't follow that you can't reach b from a
think about it like a cake. if i cut it in half, it's still the same mass of cake. if i cut the halves in half, it's still the same mass of cake. if i repeat this infinitely, it's still the same mass of cake (except at some point we start splitting the atom and singe our eyebrows)

like the arrow thing.But it still doesn;t work for me. the one to two problem is that you have to accept that there is a two. but we don't think of infinity having a point that starts something else, lets call it infinity 2.
Thanks for answering my questions though. :)
