What number is infinity plus one?

Asked by: Nick Cooper, Bristol
Mathematicians have identified many different types of infinity, of which the ‘smallest’ is Aleph-null, which is reached by counting forever. Yet even this relatively modest version of infinity has many bizarre properties, including being so vast that it remains the same, no matter how big a number is added to it (including another infinity). So infinity plus one is still infinity.
