Are 2 infinities bigger than 1 infinities???

"Infinity" is a mixture of language and logic, loosely associated with math. You need to remember that math is only valid when it describes reality, but infinity is entirely imaginary. There are two definitions of infinity. One is "a number bigger than your measuring stick." The longest measuring stick we have is the width of the Earth's orbit. By triangulation we can measure distances up to about 3200 light-years, and beyond that is infinity. Of course, that does not stop people from guessing. That is why when you look up the biggest stars, the sizes beyond 3200 light-years are uncertain. The second definition is "without limit". That is the imaginary part. And the answer to your question depends on your imagination.

I get what your saying, but surely 2 of anything is bigger than 1 of the same thing. Only exception I can think of is 0 or nothing.

Lay a ruler on a paper. Make a mark every inch and label them 2, 4, 6, and so forth to infinity. Now you have a set of all integers, and a set of all even integers, and both go on forever. But every number in one set corresponds to exactly one number in the other set, and both sets are subsets of "all integers". So both sets are equal, and the sum of them is equal to either of them alone.

Nobody said it has to make sense. Remember, what we call logic started as a parlor game in ancient Greece. You can have any result you want just by changing the rules.
