Comment on They say in an infinite multiverse versions of you exist. Yet there's an infinity of fractional numbers between 1 and 2 with no whole number 3 between, so infinity can exist without every possibility.

  Not necessarily. You could be the one constant throughout them all for whatever reason and it wouldn’t put any damper on there being an infinite number of universes. That’s the whole point of OPs example; infinity can still be bound by limits.

    such as there being no constants?

      We can’t really know what’s possible I suppose, it’s more that there’s sort of different “levels” of infinity where one level can contain another within itself, but both are still infinite just the same. When people imagine infinity they picture everything, but it doesn’t need to be.

      Hilbert’s hotel is a good example that illustrates how infinities are weird.
