Is infinity an odd or even number? (2011)

I have an opinion that number of decimal numbers between 0 and e is equal to number of decimal numbers between e and +Infinity, because a parabola with a=e will grow in x with same speed as in y.

Turn it into a proof? I need to revisit Cantor's proof, the argument I was taught left out key aspects of numbers, particularly how "number" and "string of digits you've printed out so far" aren't the same thing. It's really about creating a space-filling curve.

The amount of real numbers between any two distinct real numbers (a,b) is the same as the amount of all real numbers. This is true for (0,e), (0,1), and any other combination.
