think over this concept of infinity?

Question

If the earth were made of very hard steel and a sparrow would come once every 100 million years to just brush the earth with the tip of its tail once,eventually the earth would finish because of that friction,ie it would carry off some atoms,but infinity would not finish!just think about this

Answer 1

It makes my brain ache. It's too hot.

Answer 2

Fine but ponder this expansion of it from abook I am writing:-

All things that have a beginning must also have an end, however that which has no beginning cannot have an end and can only be measured in its passing. The one thing we know can only be measured this way and has no beginning or end is Time, this means that there was Time before the ‘big bang’ and will continue after the ‘big crunch’. Time is a unusual thing it appears to be very elastic travelling at a rate relevant and unique to its observer, there are documented examples of deja-vue and past memories which indicates time cannot be linear, most probably its resembles the famous mobius loop but with a large number of twists so that close to it looks more like an incandescent light filament made up of coiled coils stretching into the distance, (time therefore would have 2 sub dimensions analogous to twist and rotation) however as it has no beginning and no end somewhere these past and future overlap and continue onwards.
To physically travel through time rather than ride its passing is according to our current understanding impossible for anything with mass however it seems we are able to stand on the top of one coil of time and see the tops of adjacent coils (both past and future) if we are open enough to accept this view. Having accepted time is eternal and a infinite loop we must also consider its method of passing not so much as travelling along a track but more like a river faster towards the centre and slower at the banks with some places experiencing powerful and rapid whirlpools and others almost standing still
We are all familiar with the concept of an infinite number of monkeys using an infinite number of typewriters will eventually create the entire works of Shakespeare. This is a product of infinite mathematics.
If one does something for an infinite period the result will be an infinite number of possibilities
N*1*∞ = ∞
If one does nothing for an infinite length of time something is bound to happen. This explains the appearance of the big bang and what we call God as if you do nothing are you doing 1 nothing or several
N*0*∞ ≥ 1
Universe is 14.7 Billion Years Old and it is suggested that it has cycled several times before with a decaying constant, i.e. this is not the first universe that has existed but this universe has already existed for as long as the previous ones existences added together. Eventually the system will reach the natural state of all systems and equilibrium – either in this universes existence or possibly the next.

Answer 3

it's more likely that atoms from the sparrows tail would brush off onto the earth, increasing its size. The larger gravitational pull from the earth would account for the majority of the sparrow and steel particles jarred loose by friction to reassimilate back into the earth. Still, its a long time before that sparrow "finishes."

Answer 4

I think it is not a useful concept at all, for the following reasons:
(1) It does not say anything about infinity except what it ISN'T,
(2) it presumes there can be a relationship between very seldom loss of a few atoms from a very large number, and the concept of infinity.
(3) it does not explain anything about infinity, either in quantity or time (the two variables in your "swallow" analogy).
(4) it does not even attempt to address the fact that there are "orders" of infinity -- that there are infinities which are infinitely larger than the usual "aleph-null" infinity.

A much better concept of infinity would be to demonstrate it as a COUNT of things such that you will never stop counting. Then you can also demonstrate that there is another order of infinity where counting is equivalent to a finite number of operations, each as complex as just counting to ONE in the original demonstration.
Note that you can demonstrate an infiite count much more readily (and correctly) than you can an infinite quantity.

Answer 5

I have heard this before. From a vicar who taught me for confirmation classes. This was donkey's years ago. The difference then was that it was a block of granite a million miles square and a seagull came to wipe its beak once every million years. When the block was gone that was infinity. It did help to explain the subject to a young mind. However, my thoughts were that the block would disappear eventually, so its not a true definition of infinity is it?

Answer 6

think over this concept of infinity -

everything written or translated into 26 letters of English +1 can be translated from hidden light to revealed light infinitely as much as a light string can be measured across 14 dimensions of space in paradoxical relativity being limited/unlimited in potential motion

Answer 7

Would not the sparrow deposit molecules of matter as
well because of the very same friction ?, if so only the
gross composition would change ?..

assuming as well that the sparrow is immortal ...

Answer 8

If a man in a boat had four flat tires, how many flapjacks would it take to build a doghouse??? WHAT THE??? Wait around and see if the sparrow comes back, then let me know.

Answer 9

Time and space are tricky. If there is no time, you can have infinity, like dividing by zero. Our spacetime dimension has time and therefore is not infinite. But time began when our universe began. It began for us. Somewhen else, another universe could blossom into being, and time runs again. That, that is not, is not, and therefore infinite. Can you get something out of nothing? Apparently.

Answer 10

i don't see the relationship between entropy and infinity, other than our physical world is always in an entropic state.

and that would be me believing that sparrows could fly through space to cause friction.

Answer 11

what a drug induced, codswallop question.

It's like saying infinity has nothing to do with the ridiculous scenario, and goes on forever regardless of the silly question.
