Zero isn't the opposite of infinity, it's just the centre. The whole point of infinity is that it has no start or end. It stretches as far back as it does forward, into... well, infinity! So there's no one point of reference for it to have an 'opposite' to.
Thus infinity doesn't, strictly speaking, have an opposite because it's completely all-encompassing.

Minus Infinity

Could be several things:

- finite ie limited rather than unlimited
- infinitesimal ie small without limit rather than large without limit
- zero ie no separation instead of unlimited separation

I'm sure with a little more imagination some people will come up with other possibilities too.

If you mean infinity, the opposite is the point where ones measurement begins.

The oppositie of infinite is infinitismal.
So the opposite of infinity is nothing.

In a simple way: the end of an entity.

there is no opposite, either way it is endless, & both have no begining; all or nothing, never ending & never truly starting; only chosen beginings.
