Why does counting never stop?
You're lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, and a weird thought hits you: what's the biggest number? You start counting in your head — a hundred, a thousand, a million — but then what? Is there a fence at the end of the number line, a giant STOP sign where counting has to quit?
Here's the thing: every number has a neighbor. No matter what number you pick — even if it's huge, like a trillion trillion — you can always add one more. That's not a rule someone invented. It's just how counting works. One more is always possible.
