Infinity doesn't make sense but I believe everyone should believe in Infinitology like I do.

Infinity doesnt make sense because it is unspecified and unknown. Nobody knows how long infinity is. It is supposedly forever, but a person cannot actually grasp the concept of forever, because we live in a world where there is always a beginning and an end. We know when we will finish high school. We know about the time we will retire. We know about the time we will probably die. By living in a world where every single thing has a beginning and an end, it is hard to understand something that has no end.

You don't know the half of it. In mathematics, there are several different kinds of infinities, and subdividing an infinite set of numbers still results in infinity. Take the natural numbers (counting numbers from 0 to infinity). Consider just the even numbers; they're infinite. The odd numbers are also infinite. So you can divide infinity by two and still get infinity. The mathematician and science fiction author, Rudy Rucker, wrote a nice little book called "Infinity and the Mind." It's worth reading.

Ehh.....well its conceptual. I think zero is even more weird then infinity.
But infinity doesn't really exist in the finite sense. Which i guess that statement itself doesn't make sense.
But there is nothing infinite in this world. There is a limited amount of mass...time....distances.....
I'm an engineer and i treat things as infinity to model systems, but it works for practical reasons. I mean like if i have 1 million apples and 1 orange......i can treat the apples as infinity compared to the oranges. I can treat the orange as zero compared to the apple.
Zero though is crazier.....its absolute nothing.
Not trying to insult you, but with some education related to the thing in question....it becomes more reasonable. Why i hate the people that argue for or against evolution without being an upper level understanding of biology and chemistry.

Nothing makes sense if you look too closely. Repeat any word long enough and it will morph into gibberish.
Believe in what ever you are comfortable with, but please don't insist that everyone else join in with you. I like having my own choices in this life!

How long will it take you to study infinity?
