I don't understand what you mean by deeper, but the cardinality of Irrational Numbers, Aleph-One, is greater than the cardinality of rationals, Aleph-Null. That is to say, there are more irrational numbers than rationals.
[If you treat infinity as a number, there are infinity to the power of infinity irrational numbers compared with "just infinity" for rationals.]

Is there more rational numbers then irrational?
No. There are infinitely many of both but the number of irrational numbers is an order of infinity greater than that for rational numbers.
Are the sets of rational and irrational numbers equal?
No. Although there are infinitely many of either, there are more irrational numbers than rational numbers. The cardinality of the set of rational numbers is À0 (Aleph-null) while the cardinality of the set of irrational numbers is 2À0.
Is there rational numbers than irrational?
There are infinitely many rational numbers and irrational numbers but the cardinality of irrationals is larger by an order of magnitude.If the cardinality of the countably infinite rational numbers is represented by a, then the cardinality of irrationals is 2^a.
Are there more rational numbers then irrational?
No. Although the count of either kind of number is infinite, the cardinality of irrational numbers is an order of infinity greater than for the set of rational numbers.
Why does pi go on forever?
Because it's an irrational number, and that's what "irrational" means. There are lots of other irrational numbers, like the base of the natural logarithm e or the square root of 2.In fact, there are more irrational numbers than rational numbers. A lot more.Infinitely more, even. There are an infinite number of rational numbers, but the infinite number of irrational numbers is a higher infinity than the infinity of rational numbers.
