Explain infinity.?

Question

Seriously, if you think you can, please take a crack at it. Funny and completely non serious answers are more than welcome.

Answer 1

I'd give you a detailed explanation, but it just goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on.....

Answer 2

Think of it like this:

Picture the number line on a black board. Now imagine that the black board (and the number line on it) extends out into space forever with no end to it.

Now when you work with problems involving infinity, it is a little easier to picture/imagine.

Later you can talk about Russell's Paradox, transfinite numbers, etc. with a better understanding.

Answer 3

Infinity: A number which has no upper limit. Normally used to determine the trends in linear and non-linear equations and systems.

Infinity: The number of people who can subsist on welfare as long as one person works.

Infinity: The number of times we will repeat the past even if we learn from it.

Infinity: The number of variations of "Survivor" we will have to endure before our deaths.

Answer 4

comes from the Latin infinitas or "unboundedness." It refers to several distinct concepts which arise in theology, philosophy, mathematics and everyday life. Popular or colloquial usage of the term often does not accord with its more technical meanings.

In theology, for example in the work of theologians such as Duns Scotus, the infinite nature of God invokes a sense of being without constraint, rather than a sense of being unlimited in quantity. In philosophy, infinity can be attributed to space and time, as for instance in Kant's first antinomy. In both theology and philosophy, infinity is explored in articles such as the Ultimate, the Absolute, God, and Zeno's paradoxes.

In mathematics, infinity (∞) is relevant to, or the subject matter of, limits, aleph numbers, classes in set theory, Dedekind-infinite sets, large cardinals, Russell's paradox, hyperreal numbers, projective geometry, extended real numbers and the absolute Infinite.

In popular culture, we have Buzz Lightyear's rallying cry, "To infinity — and beyond!", which may also be viewed as the rallying cry of set theorists considering large cardinals.

Answer 5

I am amazed at the rubbish that has been posted in response to your question. Russell's paradox? What does this have to do with infinity?

Get yourself a good dictionary (Oxford or Webster)!

In mathematics: limitless in space, extent, number or size.

Answer 6

Greater than any fixed counting number, or extending forever. No matter how large a number one thinks of, infinity is larger than it. Infinity has no limits

Answer 7

∞ !!! Positive OR Negative ?? No problem b coz :

Infinity is also a point that is further away than any other point and so can never be reached.

Infinity is a number that is larger than any other number and so can never be given an exact value.

& thats all.
good luck.lol

Answer 8

infinity is unimaginably high
like the sort of money power you should have to buy a million Bill Gates
the effort you have to put to date your shy girl friend for the first time

Answer 9

In one beautiful day you walk absent minded and you found two parallels meeting. You arrived in the infinite!

Answer 10

you see big?
You see bigger?
You see even bigger? starting to have some trouble to comprehend that?
Then think biger still...

And bigger than that....
Try a bit bigger.

You can still picture it? then bigger.

What? your brain is freezing? already? you know we're not there yet? FAR from it, very far from it!!!


Now? you get the idea? Hey! don't try to picture it! if you manage to picture it, then it's not it... but you can get the idea, can't you?
