You just go to the occupants of room 1 and ask them transfer to
the next room, and so on. There's always another room.


That's supposed to be the solution but wouldn't it take an infinite
amount of time for all the occupants to move? They can't all move
instantaneously. The occupant of room #1 has to tell the one in room #2
to move and so on, ad infinitum.


The moving (ripple?) would take forever, but the inconvenience to each
occupant would be rather short lived. I'm more worried about the new
visitor. If there are already an infinite number of guests in the hotel,
where did the guest appear from? ... and are there fire regulations
being broken by overbooking the rooms?

Hilbert's Paradox of the Grand Hotel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_paradox_of_the_Grand_Hotel
What is a "Dox" ? -and may I ask- Why Do We Need A Par-a-Dem
{Pair-of-Them} To Confuse Ourselves ? ? ?

INFINITY - With respect to "The Universe" is a concept that has
a basis in-fact only to the extent at in the past "The Universe"
has been Expanding -and- in the future "The Universe" will be
Expanding. - - - Where "The Universe" is Expanding and forever
getting bigger, And Bigger. AND BIGGER ! - Beyond Our Ability
to Comprehend {Imagine} - THAT IS INFINITY [.]

Now with Respect to the Grand Hotel having an Infinity of Rooms
that are all appear to be occupied with new guests arriving at every
moment-in-time : The New Rooms {Ever-Expanding} are being
created in the Null-Time-between-Time when Guest's Appear.

Therefore We May Conclude that with respect to Infinity :
Time as a Concept is Static -and- Expansion as a Concept is Dynamic.

As Buzz-LightYear says : To Infinity And Beyond !

theoretically speaking - this has been a waste of time ~ RHF {ibid}
