Infinity
 

Discuss.

It's big. Like, really big. Also, there's different sizes of infinity.

lol. By definition infinity can't have different sizes. It's an absolute.

Sorry I didn't catch that, I was too busy with your mum.

need some ice for that burn MHDTV?

If you're talking about infinite sets they have different sizes, which is more or less different sizes of infinity.

No thanks Matious.
My mom's 50. If you're really that desperate I can hook you guys up...

I'm not desperate I just prefer my labia with a major crease.

Horrible thread. 0/10.

Isn't infinity the largest size drink you can get at starbucks? Y'know how they're always making up words to sound cool. Venti, grande`, infinite`.

Every number is an infinite string and thus its own infinity. As long as a number is capable of being bigger than another number than an infinity can be bigger than another infinity.

Infinity isn't a number.

Infinity and one...is.

Infinity.

I love my girlfriend infinity times.

i love ethan's girlfriend infinity times too.




wish me luck, i'm asking her to homecoming!

That still doesn't refute that every number is its own infinity and thus infinities can be larger than one another.

What happened to bros before hoes?

Think of numbers as line segments, when infinity is the line. That should help. Infinities are an absolute which they are the 'limit', seeing as they're limitless.

Who doesn't like you're post? Its great you can admit you're a useless cunt.

wow...what a loser.

lol, the avatar I set for mhdtv account didn't show up =( but look in his user cp profile =D

What the hell is thread? Oh well, I'll post anyway seeing as I know everything ever.

Infinity is a number. It's not a 'real number', but it is a number. Other numbers like 'i' (square root of minus 1) also don't exist in a simple visible way, but they're still numbers. That is all.

Unfan is right, we just discussed this today in class.

cardboard is absolutely right, their are different sizes of infinity. this is when being applied to specific mathematics, whereas infinity is defined in other sciences with somewhat different meanings.

It occurs quite often in chemistry when ever a quantity is defined to be a certain amount, such as 1 inch being 2.54 cm.

But we're talking "reality". In terms of space there's no such thing as a one infinity being bigger than the other.

Does "infinity" even exist in "reality"? It is after all a human way of conceptualizing an idea, one which can be applied to space or sets or other hypothetical constructs.

In a certain sense, yes. There's no "end" to space but you can never get to infinite, because that would be the end. As a number it doesn't exist because you can't reach it. but as a concept it exists because there can't be an end to space.

Are you saying that the universe is infinite? Because that's not really a commonly accepted idea among cosmologists.

No, but space itself is.

What is space? What do you mean?

Basically I mean everything.

space is actually a lack of something really

Space is Dark Matter and Dark Energy.

I think "space" is just a manner of conceptualizing the information our senses give us, so to apply other abstractions like "infinity" to it doesn't necessarily imply that it has some sort of external "reality" from human experience.
