Did you know, not only does the President of the United States even have a speechwriter, but nearly every head of state and public business person, has their own speech-writer as well?
It means no fear.I hope this helps,here we go:-
The word infinity comes from the Latin infinitas or "unboundedness." It refers to several distinct concepts (usually linked to the idea of "without end" or "bigger than the biggest thing you can think of") which arise in philosophy, mathematics, and theology.

In popular usage, infinity is usually thought of as something like "the largest possible number" or "the furthest possible distance"; hence naïve questions such as "what is the next number after infinity?" or "if you travel to infinity, what happens if you then go a bit further?". Another example is Buzz Lightyear's rallying cry "To infinity — and beyond!"

In mathematics, "infinity" is often used in contexts where it is treated as if it were a number (i.e., it counts or measures things : "an infinite number of terms") but it is clearly a very different type of "number" than the integers or reals. 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 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 Greek philosophy, for example in Anaximander, 'the Boundless' is the origin of all that is. He took the beginning or first principle to be an endless, unlimited primordial mass (apeiron). In Judeo-Christian 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.
Good luck and cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
