It has no affect on the number 0.

Every other one get you to another number that is in the set.

If you can't understand how that number is there, then you just don't 
undertstand how numbers, and infinity, works.

It seems your concept of "actual infinity" isn't actually infinite, 
because you just don't understand how that works, because you mind is 
too small.
