I find explanations like this dangerously misleading, like Hilbert's Hotel and the Banach-Tarski paradox discussion talking about peas and suns. Infinity is not finite. Making it pretend-finite by making impossible analogies to finite physical objects instills fundamental misunderstanding of what finite and infinite means.
