The set of "ordinary" real numbers are just as large as the set of complex numbers.

Hmmm, now here's a question. If I have an infinite set and you have an infinite set, but my set also includes all of yours, and also has members that yours doesn't, can it be classed as bigger?

edited to add: Essentially Real numbers are a subset of Imaginary Numbers, and so the set of Imaginary numbers must somehow be bigger, even though they are both infinite. A weird idea, but.......
