Take any 6 natural numbers you want and put them to set.
What must be the biggest natural number in that set?

Maybe i just have to say 1=1 because you don't undestand either.

Naturals are not like qeue that's items goes smaller and smaller. "They
all takes us much place".

n+1 - n = 1

If that's queue's length is supposed to be oo then there is item oo.

But i say that there is not infinite number of numbers in N.

No matter how faraway the amount is allways finite. And the size, bigness
or whatever of the
biggest number in N is too finite. We stay in step 1 forever. Infinite
does not exist.
