Can an actual infinity exist?

Question

An instant of time is not a part of time of which time can be divided into. An instant is more like a point on a line; it is the boundary between two periods of time. The interesting reality of time is the fact that it feels as if it will go on forever. At any point in time there is a succeeding moment and a succeeding moment giving the illusion that time is always ‘becoming’. Aristotle called this the ‘potentially infinite’, versus the actual infinite. Space could also be considered potentially infinite because the universe is forever expanding.

But could there be an infinity that exists as whole, rather than 'becoming'?

Answer 1

Many questions were asked in the ancient Hindu texts about
the nature of Parama Atama (infinite soul, or Almighty) and
Atma (soul). In the olden days, Gurus used to put these
questions to disciples to test their knowledge.

What is the constituent material of Almighty? All created
materials are subject to decay and annihilation, Almighty
is above the influence of decay and annihilation. He
is eternal.

Then is Almighty a void? In terms of material
characteristics, Almighty is void (Soonya).

Can this lead to the logic that Almighty is not there?
No. Almighty is there. He is consciousness, the infinite
consciousness. The Atma which is a finite piece of Almighty,
according to Advaita Vedanta - the personal consciousness.
Soul was created in the likeness of Infinite Soul.

Since Atma is only a minute piece of Almighty, is it
subjected to annihilation? No. Atma is also eternal.

Answer 2

it depends on how ur defining infinity. by aristotle's criteria, actual infinity exists when there is nothingness. if the total number is zero, then you cannot bisect it. and you cannot add another number if the totality is zero itself. however with russel's set theory, infinity is now defined both from the top down and from the bottom up. so according to his criteria, no.

Answer 3

yeah it does--if try counting all the blades of grass in the worlk and the new ones that grow every day---youd have 2 thnk of a new number. Or even the blades now. Eventually the number gets bigger and bigger and never ends. Also space has no walls.

Answer 4

Very much. Infinity cannot be actual if it does not exist.

Answer 5

Infinity is a concept, not a physical 'thing'. The concept exists (we are talking about it!), so it exists.
