Kandy, it works something like this. Infinity by definition is a continuous, neverending progression. You can't halve an infinite number, because to do so would stop the progression (and you cannot halve a continually pregressing function), rendering the halved number finite, and thus the whole "half of infinity" thing meaningless.
In comics, though, I tend to subscribe to the view that there are levels of "infinity", if you will. The 'gog, while not infinite in the true meaning of the word, is only not so based on a technicality. It's still pretty damn powerful. I place it more around UN level, though.
