I think so. If you don't think so state why not.
I think things are Infinity. Thats what makes up a thing.

Also tell me every thing you think you know about Infinity, cuz I wana know if any one thinks what I think.

to me infinity is a matter of perspective
example
lets say you shoot off a laser beam ( in space)
it travels on an on forever ( infinity)
but at any time, its not in all those places at once, because it hasn't got there yet.

something that repeats like a record skipping
will go on into infinity.
but again, it hasn't yet.
so its really aproaching infinity.

and with most objects there was a begining point
so the infinity is one way ( into the future)

also, with the laser, it does not come back to itself and start over... ( a loop) it keeps doing strait....
and too even for something repeating,
it repeats only on some dimensions
for example
tracing a circle
it repeats on the x-z axis, but not in time ( or the z axis which never changed at all)
so its only a loop in some part, not in whole.
so for things:
1 they had a begining.
2: they may repeat some part, but not all parts

I understand the confusion, but infinity is not a loop. We can clearly see this as the term 'infinity' refers to an ideal number giving value to an infinite quantity. So let's apply infinity to our numbers: we begin at 0, then 1, and so on. At no point will the numbers simply start again at 0 - because there is no largest number. If you think you know a largest number, simply add 1 to it.

The confusion of loop/infinity is attributed to the concept that a circle has no beginning and no end – though I have never seen anyone able to create a circle without locating a beginning (starting point), which then determines the end…

How to tell if infinity is a loop:

Do your experiences keep repeating themselves? For example, do you eat every day? sleep every night? Do you keep wearing the same ten shirts over and over? Does your mother yell at you periodically? (Periodicity may or may not be a valid proof, but taken along with the others can justify secondary inferences.)
