Hello,
(ANS) No!! thats a contradiction in terms, if something is infinite you cannot count it by its very nature. Its like saying can we measure space? space by its nature is NOT measurable because its NOT known to have edges or boundaries that contain it. Thus the same applies to something that is infinite.
**Infinity=mystery
**Mystery=not knowable!
Beyond the final frontier!!!!

NO, Infinity is an unquantifiable large number since it has no "real" value, so you can not count till you reach it.
Look at it this way no matter how high you count you can always go higher, which would be closer to infinity, but you will never reach the end.
the meaning of infinity is somewhat corrupted by popular lexicon. In the physical universe that there is nothing infinite. Everything exists in a quantifiable value at any given time this include the size of the universe, which while quite impressive and impossible to comprehended at any given moment has a specific size.

Infinity is something infinite (LoL) anticipate u count huge type as much as a great integer huge type enable's say 2^99999999999999 call X there is mostly a huge decision grater than X which equals X+a million yet whilst X+a million is the biggest huge type (a.ok.a infinity) then it may be the biggest yet X+a million+a million = (X+2) is larger etc etc... perhaps u could locate yet another activity for u. Counting to infinity is uninteresting....

No. You can count and count and count and you'll still be no nearer than you were when you started.
Suppose you count as far as 10 and then stop to see how much more counting you've got to do. You've still got:
infinity - 10 = infinity to go.
So you count for a bit longer and get to a million. Now how close are you? You've still got:
infinity - 1,000,000 = infinity to go.
No matter what number you've counted to so far, n say, you've still got:
infinity - n = infinity to go.
I wouldn't try if I were you. Set yourself a more attainable goal like:
- counting to a million
- winning the lottery

No. Infinity isn't a real number. It just keeps going on forever.

No, because for something to be infinite means to have no end, so you couldn't count to infinity.

No infinity is a CONCEPT, and so you cant treat it as a number, so cant count to it.

No as infinity defines a ''number'' which is unknown - there is no ''end'' to our list of integers. You could carry on counting all your life, but there would be no end - you can go on and on and on and there is no point at which you can go no further.

no because you could never get there, infinity is a concept rather than an actual number

NO is the short answer, if you counted every day of your life the last number you utter before death would only require a 1 to be added to beat your total.

No!! the largest regesterd number is called a centillion, which has a million zeros on it!! but you could always add a one and then away you go again, centillion and one etc.
Infinity means exactly that it has no ending, it has no boundries so in theory no you cant reach infintiy because infinity itself in neverending:))
Hope this helps:))
