Does pink exist? Or one? Or thought? Or democracy? Or someone you've only seen on TV?
These are all nothing more than concepts, ideas, symbols maybe of a physical object (or maybe not). Infinity is also an idea. Given that our perception of anything is governed through ideas, the idea of infinity is as real as the idea of the space bar on my computer. Infinity is also useful as a representation of something really big and must exist in a symbolic universe of numbers without necessary end. Same with infinitesimal (something so small it is virtually zero without actually being zero). So, in this sense at least, infinity is as real as anything else.

Absolutely! It exists, first, as a mathematical concept. It also seems to exist in the physical universe according to observation...we cannot (yet) detect an end to the physical universe. If it is indeed endless, then it is infinite. But you can see infinity yourself, and quite easily. Take a mirror (the bigger the better) and hold it up to another mirror (the bigger the better) a look at the reflections. They get smaller and smaller, but they go on into infinity.

Yes, it exist, but the good point is to where is the infinity. I think that in this world there is not limit and that what infinity is for me, as long with what you think or do does not damage anyone.

Pick a numer divide it into 2 and whatever answer you get do it again and again and never stop. Infinity is possible because any partical can be sub divided theocetically forever. Infinite and finite are necesary for each to exist. When we look out things are bigger or smaller than ourelves this relative perception can be taken forever.

Yes It is in zeros which is why we say that zeros tends to infinity.

Yeah, but its not much of a tangible number. Its an IDEA. The idea that actual numbers go on forever. There's always 1 more, and 1 more after that....FOREVER!

What do You say?

No matter the answer, we really have no chance on finding out.
