A beautiful visualization of Cantor's counterintuitive infinity proof. The meme shows how the set of integers (Z) and even integers (2Z) have the same cardinality through a bijective function (2x ↦ x). Despite one being a subset of the other, they're equally infinite. It's like discovering your half-empty coffee cup somehow contains exactly as much coffee as your full one. Mathematicians call this "countable infinity," I call it "why I stare at the ceiling at 2AM."
