Does infinity exist ?

Answer 1

Yes it does. We have no true concept of it as it is infinate.

Answer 2

When the many definitions of infinity are scrutinised closely, it soon becomes obvious that nobody can define infinity in a logical and unamibuous way.

Even though the concept is not clearly understood, people struggle to accept that everything is finite, and so they hold on to the belief in this weird thing they call infinity. They prefer to struggle with all the weird conclusions and nonsensical paradoxes it causes rather than to accept the simplicity and clarity of Extreme Finitism (see www.extremefinitism.com).

The answer to ‘does infinity exist’ is not yes or no. The answer is that since infinity is nonsense, so is this question.

Answer 3

Infinity is a concept that is used in the mathematics and science to examine new concepts. Although some people like to think it is, infinity is NOT a number and cannot be used as such. It is a concept. Numbers have values, infinity does not. In philosophy, it is used to describe our utter confusion over something without bounds. Nature certainly suggests that infinity exists. For example, if you examine an alternating current signal on an oscilloscope, you see a continuous graph. Of course, this is created by pixels on the oscilloscope that is itself digitized (which is finite) but I think there is some suggestion that you could continuously zoom in and never see any point. Thus, it is continuously divisible and therefore infinite. This is a concept called fractals. Quantum physics certainly suggests infinite behavior. We began by thinking that atoms were the most fundamental building block of life, then electrons, then subatomic particles in general, then things like quarks and leptons. I'm willing to bet that it goes even further than that. I think that there is nothing fundamental so I don't understand why they're searching for it. I just think that as we get new technology we will see what makes up the current thing we think is fundamental. And on and on and so continuously divisible and therefore infinite.

Answer 4

Obviously, you already know that the concept exists. Mathematicians only go that far. Taking it to the physical realm is where mathematics becomes the tool to describe theories that hopefully succeed at explaining certain laws that again, hopefully succeed at describing the phenomena we observe in the universe.

Infinity is not confined to simply being something that we can stare at and never see the end, it would actually be more of an equivalent of looking forward with a super telescope and seeing your own back, far far away, looking through that telescope.

Want to know if it exists? Find a path in space that has no obstructions, and build yourself one super telescope. Now wait for those photons, forever...

Answer 5

Infinity is a concept. In that sense, the concept exists, but only because we can think about it. Outside of the concept, "infinity" does not exist.

Answer 6

I t depends on how u look at it i guess if u believe in reincarnation then yes because for example u could find ur soul mate and through reincarnation that's what it is when ur soul passes from world to world or next world to next world but ne ways and when u get there ur "soulmate " and u find eachother i guess that would be infinity right to keep living forever and ever and ever times infinity idk do u get what i9'm saying at all it probally sounds dumb but i tried

Answer 7

Does Infinity Exist

Answer 8

well I know mathematicians will probably laugh but how could anyone really know we are finite and have know way of going there or actually measuring such a concept . Einstein seemed to think the universe was infinite just not as infinite as stupidity.

Answer 9

Yes.

In Spirituality, IT DOES exist.
The measured quantity of known space inside theoretical space inhibits 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Kilometers. That's just the theoretical space.
Calculus as well, when the said limits of this certain variable is actually undefined.
Algebra, when x/0. The answer will be undefined

Answer 10

Yes. Infinity does exist. Examples:
Numbers. Let me know when you find an end.
The universe. Ditto.
Life. Everlasting life is a promise.
