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.
