Wrong.
My hotel has an infinite amount of rooms but each room holds an infinite amount of guests.
If we represent infinity as "N", and call your hotel N1, we can call my hotel N2, to signify the increased holding power.
This is the sort of logic that is needed to construct the quantity that holds all points in space, that is N4.
But yes, infinity, just as zero, exists (at least as a concept).
(If anyone cares to correct this, feel free. I'm digging this up from over 24 years ago.)

Godel went insane, and so did Cantror trying to prove shit about infinity.
They wavered between the number of points on the real line being, (in their notation, Aleph1 or Aleph(infinity).)
Where Aleph1 = 2^ Aleph0, Aleph2 = Aleph1 ^ Aleph1.
Eventually, Godel through his incompleteness theorem proved that either one could be true because Mathematics is incomplete.
Infinity is not a number, and it doesn't exist. (In this world.)
The world is finite. So there is no infinity.
It's just a concept. Like the point mass.
