What is infinity?

Question

If infinity is infinity then how can infinity be larger than prevoiusly though.

Answer 1

Beyond our tiny 3-dimensional brains comprehension - we can talk about it and try to imagine the concept - but in my opinion never successfully.

Answer 2

Infinity = 0

Answer 3

Infinity is something which cant be counted. Thats why nothing can be larger than infinity. If you find something which is larger than infinity it means u have counted what you earlier though was infinity , so it no longer remains infinity.

By the way Infinity (infiniti) is also a car brand. In this case if they bring out with a larger model than a previous one, then u have a larger Infinty (infiniti)

Answer 4

1. Something without limits: limitless time, space or distance. e.g.
Beyond the Earth lay infinity.
2. Something too great to count: an amount or number so great that
it cannot be counted. e.g. An infinity of stars.
3. State of being infinite: the state or quality of being infinite.
4. (Maths). Concept of always being unlimited: the concept of being
unlimited by always being larger than any imposed value or
boundary. For some purposes this may be considered as being
the same as one divided by zero.
5. (Maths). Geometric point at infinite distance: a part of a
geometric figure situated an infinite distance from the
observer, e.g. the hypothetical point at which parallel lines
meet in Euclidean geometry.
6. (Optics). Infinitely distant point: a point sufficiently far from a
lens or mirror that the light emitted from it falls in parallel rays
on the surface.

Answer 5

I imagine it that way:
1. That's the time continuum. No start no end. The time was there when no universe was existing(cos if the universe didn't exist in some moment we must define when)
2.Big circumroiation of space-time continuum. The space appear some time in past and then it collapsed and the energy of collapsing made it explode creating the universe(The Big Bang). Then the the process will continue repeating until the end of time. Which is actually impossible, because if there is a moment when the time stops then when is that moment - in the same time which ends??? It means that it didn't ended!!!
and 3. A circle - where is its beginning and its end.

Answer 6

???? wow...weird. Infinity is infinity, which means forever...period. Just because you spoke of infinity 10 yrs ago makes it no less 10 yrs later. Why? Because it is infinity! It is continuouse. It has nothing to do with the length of time.

Answer 7

Infinity means without limits.

Answer 8

Which can not be measured is defined as infinity. Even the symbol is like 8 lying down. Look at it, there is no beginning or end. It is beyond anything. For example, let us write numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,.......................................................................infinity
We can never find the end. same case is for parallel lines. In Maths, it is said that the parallel lines meet at infinity.

So, infinity can contain anything but nothing can contain infinity

Answer 9

Never end The Future and Beyond. It is like a 8 sideways.
I think of it like a hot wheels Track and you keep riding the loop and cant get out of it. I end cards and letters with May God Bless You and Your Family Forever with the sideways 8. Like a rocket to the moon and it keeps going to the stratosphere. Timeless

Answer 10

I have heard that mathematicians use numbers beyond infinity. I got stuck on the theory well before that point, so can't help really.

Answer 11

Infinity is a constant with no beginning and no end
