I tried opening a hotel like this once but the guests ended up writing the complete works of Shakespeare

Only in mathematics can we play with infinity like this. The initial state of “full” is surely only possible within a finite space.

The hotel would get an infinite number of complaints for making the guests keep moving room.

hot take: it is much easier to accept infinity than finity. which is why humans invented the afterlife.

If cut an infinite string in half, did I half it or double it?

Probability, Infinity and Time do not exist. We just perceive it that way, like grains of sand perceiving the moon.

Premier Inn adverts have changed since Lenny Henry left. What about the free WiFi? Surely that’ll struggle.

The problem as I see it is , the word ‘full ‘ can’t apply to an infinite world. By definition there is always space. So the person in room 1 just moves to room 2 and room 2 moves to room 3 and so on.

You still have an infinite problem, because that very first operation will take an infinite amount of time.

Within pi, if you were to assign a number to a letter (A=1, B=2), you could find in there the complete script of everything you've ever said.

If I'm not mistaken, after you put the infinite number of passengers from infinite number of buses by this prime number method, you get an infinite number of free rooms (e.g. rooms 15, 21, 33, 39).

First, infinity does not exist. It's o Mt a concept. Second. An infinite hotel can never be "full". That why a infinite number of bussen with infinite people fit in it. What would not fit intimate+1
