Does infinity exists?

∞ to me is like saying, do you know this line is endless? That number. It says more about the construct of the number line than actually representing a number on the end what as it is infinite by default means it doesn’t have one.
But I’d love to hear your side.

I don’t know why I wrote this crap thread but meh.
Happy Pi Day.
Yes, it seems so.
@tripe There are plenty of science geeks that will love this question.
@petethepothead
:P This is why I wrote this, I saw it was pie day and then was thinking about infinity.
I only really “see” infinity in the concepts I do not understand, like endless space and death. I can only relate to that I see. So for the things I understand there is no infinity.
Go to the sea, and look out at where the sea seems to meet the sky. The horizon. That line between sea and sky represents infinity.
Black holes.
dx.
Zero dimension (a point).
Yes, pi….do you know what the last digit of pi is??
How far has it been calculated anyway?
Ummm…if you’ve ever waited in a doctors office for test results you know that infinity exists.
I also took a math test 30 years ago that I am still taking in my head. Infinity exists.
Infinity as a way to describe something that we can’t grasp, yes.
Our logic dictates that something comes from something else. Action reaction.
Infinity has no beginning, No “action” to get things started. To literally take infinity as we “see” it, is to reason that there is another logic that we are not aware of, holding everything together.
I can’t understand a universe without infinity existing. Imagine flying through space and then you suddenly reach the end…. but how could you possibly reach the end of the universe. Surely theres something there to see. If its just black…then thats a continuation too and it keeps on going. It makes no sense for there to suddenly be an end of something, a place where nothing exists. Actually it wouldn’t be a place…it’d be a nothing…damn this is hard to describe. For me, infinity is a definite thing….that sentence probably doesn’t make sense.
The infinite numbers count infinite sets, such as the set of positive integers. More information is available on Wikipedia under Transfinite Arithmetic.
Infinity is a concept, not a object. So yes, it does exist in that form. Unless your refering to those horrible re-branded Nissan cars in which case, yes they do exist in the real world as polished turds!
Not only in math. Big Freeze, Big Rip and Big Bounce are infinite models of the future universe. So are most multiverse models.
I just spent the weekend counting to infinity.
@ChazMaz – Try uncountable infinity for a change!
In other words: Get real!
