I read a really cool math book last year and this was part of it. https://www.amazon.com/Coincidences-Chaos-That-Math-Jazz/dp/0393329313
Basically, if you stack cards a certain way they don't fall off, so theoretically you could continue this to infinity. In the real world you can't do this just because of physics and nonsense, but in a mathematical sense it's possible.

It's cool, I won't torture you anymore with it. It's fun to think about infinite universes and all the possibilities that idea offers. Without trying to condescend, I will say I really think that the actual math of different infinity sets favors my interpretation. If you're at all interested in looking into it further, one of the first non-required math books I read after college goes into some abstract and counterintuitive concepts, but uses a lot of visual examples and keeps it at an explain-this-like-I'm-a-five-year-old level of straightforwardness. There are several chapters on different kinds of infinity. It's been around a few years ... I'll see if I can find it somewhere online for free.
Here’s a great book on such concepts if it’s truly interesting to you.
