A more interesting question; suppose a set containing an infinite number of 9's. Now copy that set and add a 2.

Different set with an infinite number of elements. Their sizes are the same for infinity = infinity... :^)

 Providing one infinite set and the other are both countable or both uncountable. If one set is size Aleph_zero and the other is 2^Aleph_zero then they are not the same size.

I was just thinking that infinite is infinite, there is an infinite number of natural numbers, there are an infinite amount of numbers between say, .0000001 and .00000001, all the way down. Are you referring to density?
