Hotel Infinity:  Part One

Introduction to Hilbert's Hotel Paradox -- a riddle about the nature of infinity.  

Once upon a time, there was a hotel with an infinite number of rooms.  You might be thinking this is impossible, and if so you're right.   A hotel like this could never exist in the real world.
