This is bait for retarded popsci faggots (much like you must be pretending to be) but okay.

First of all, there are excellent arguments against the existence of God that squarely fall on 'his' infinity.

Second of all, infinity is a construct. It doesn't necessarily have to be manifested in any physical form. It's just an idea. A useful thing made basically for the sake of developing math more easily.

I bet there are millions of people who think this is a deep and insightful comment

just like God

>>7668628
God doesn't help develop math, really. At best, it's an idea that keeps self-centered pricks from committing suicide by implying a grand scheme in the universe that revolves around them.

Think about it that way, if the universe is finite, so are numbers, because you'll be able to contain only so many digits in one universe, even if you manage to be able to store digits in the smallest form, there still will be an end to them. If the universe is infinite, so are the numbers.

Good thinking OP you definitely should commit suicide

If you gaze longingly into the abyss, the abyss will soon gaze longingly into you.

B-But anon infinite is not a number it's a limit, an idea, how can you make an equation with a non-number?

If time is truly infinite (or theoretically approaches infinity) then your lifes period of time is zero (or approaches zero)

if you're smart then you wouldnt get obesssed, you'd just see the answer

>is not a number it's a limit, an idea
Well yeah, it is not a number, but it does have a clear geometric definition as the pole of the Riemann Sphere.

(pole as in like the north pole not a singularity)

{n|n>=0}
Wow. Infinite numbers. Finite space. CraAaAaAazzzyyyy

>>7668674
It's not a real number, but it is a point on the extended real line.

>>7668618
Infinity isn't real.

>>7668618

this is really trippy feel. like occasionally I'm walking down the stairs or something and I get a deja vu where I know I will get a deja vu in a few seconds. that can result in 20-30 seconds of continous deja vu.

It's literally obvious and rediculously simple af, it meets in the middle... like F1->2

You certainly fell for it.

Infinity is retarded
It didn't make anything easier, dickhead

Points imply single values.

>on the extended number line.

On the what bitch?

>>7669611
look outside

>>7668776
Proof?

>>7669626
?

>>7669608
It sure didn't make limits or anything possible.

>>7668618
Our 3d existence is based around the idea of beginning and end and sequences of events, its how we perceive "space time"

Its only natural that we cant comprehend the idea of the universe existing forever, because we do not.

The mere fact that you exist should be evidence enough that existence was "worth happening" to put it plainly. Otherwise you wouldn't exist right?

>>7669608
what is countability

>>7668618
Jesus christ you fuckers are stupid, all infinity is is simply a number that is ever incrementing, increasing in unit forever non-stop, infinity/forever are states of being, not a number. And if you have a unit that is ever incrementing, it had to have started at unit 1 at some point, in other words the infinity has a beginning point, which means the universe has a beginning point. The true question we should be asking is when energy came into existence as the singularity, did it come into existence in a state of equilibrium or a state of imbalance(creating the Big Bang explosion), a non-equilibrium state.

>>7668659
where does that picrel come from?
but i bet it's not accurate in any way as in generated based on actual pi digits? cuz it looks like there's real pattern in there?

>>7669624
Extended real number line. You take R, add infinity and -infinity and partially extend +, * and <.
Of course this is not a field anymore, but helps when dealing with limits.
After doing so, there is nothing special about infinity, it is just a symbol, like every other fucking number.

>What are different types of infinity

>>7668618
The study of mathematics in itself, and especially a concept as asinine as infinity, is an exercise in mental illness. So this is just evolution doing its thing.
