Can you grasp infinity?

Question

I can grasp there never being an end to all things, but there never being a beginning was a bit harder.

Answer 1

Can anyone really grasp infinity? I think not.

Answer 2

For me, Infinity is not something that last throughout time, but it is something that exist without time or beyond time. In other words, it is something that exist only at the present moment and not in the past or in the future. That's why infinity has no beginning or an ending because it only exist NOW! I understand this is very much hard to explain and also very hard to understand, but there are things around here in the material world that man , even science, can't explain. There are things that we can't see but we know it exist, just like energy. This kind of thing is considered unmanifest or unborn. It only exist in the present and don't have any past or future. Hence, it has no beginning and an ending. That's why, it is eternal or infinity as you like it said.

Answer 3

Well, I think it's contrary to our mental nature to be able to conceptualize infinity. We can understand what it is, theoretically. But trying to imagine it is harder. This is why so many people believe in some higher being or higher power. It makes everything seem to have purpose and a beginning and end.

You don't have to believe anything in particular. Most people find what makes them most comfortable and go with that. Since it's rather hard to prove what came before our presently theorized "beginnings" and what will come in the future, it really doesn't matter what you believe. If you're a logical person who requires reason and proof, you'll probably go for what scientists are postulating (though when you get back to the Big Bang and before, everything gets decidedly less scientific and more like guesswork). If you feel like reason is not the way to go and wish to go on faith or what feels complete and sensible to you, then you can go with some of the more spiritual/religious theories. Go nuts, buddy! :) And of course, you can always read some Existentialism and not care about anything.... weee!!

Answer 4

No. Infinity is beyond the comprehension of human senses, brain and intellect. You can theorise but to understand or grasp the magnitude we do not have the equipment in our body.

Answer 5

I grasped infinity once...but it slipped out of my hands before I could put it in a jar.

Answer 6

Infinity or limitless is TOO much for anyone to grasp, our grasp being limited by perception.

Answer 7

dualism involves the existence of two fundamental principles (or concepts), often in opposition to each other. in non dualism things remain distinct while not being separate.

Nondualism may be viewed as the belief that dualism or dichotomy are illusory phenomena. Examples of dualisms include self/other, mind/body, male/female, good/evil, active/passive, dualism/nondualism and.so forth. And beginning and end. One thing, two aspects of it.

Answer 8

Answer 9

can. only that it looks like a number 8, tuned 90 degrees.

Answer 10

none of us can. we can imagine the concept, but in reality we have no basis of understanding. try this: try to imagine nothing. nothing at all. you can't do it. just by imagining nothing, you are still thinking of something. not until we leave this existence will we be able to handle such things.
