Food for Thought

Are there as many integers as square integers?

Consider the following correspondences
12 = 1
22 = 4
32 = 9
42 = 16
...
For every positive integer there is a corresponding square. Yet some numbers are not square, such as 13. This would indicate that there are fewer squares than integers.

How can this be?
