I'm not sure that D2JSP, with its population of mindless pothead trolls, is a good place to be asking such deep philosophical questions.

It's rather something divided by nothing.


isnt this an atom?

infinity is most likely something that never ends.

- Is it more likely to be a line going in one direction for ever, such as time can it progress endlessly, space.
- Or is it a circle time strarts progresses and at a point starts from the beginning again. (why do I think it could be a circle: Maybe the universe has a big bang, then the universe is expanding then gravitaion pulls it back to a single point and the next big bang takes place and that forever. This seems to be a circle. Also in respect to time. Time is dependent on matter, speed, space. Matter, speed and space if a big bang starts again are pretty much the same again creating the same time again. So maybe time progresses then starts again at the same point it has been previously).

Would like to have some thoughts on this.


You can't define infinity. Infinity is a concept, and merely an abstract idea you can grasp. You can't put an exact value on infinity. Therefore, this thread fails.

Infinity is both ends of a perfect circle

The universe is infinitely large.
The reason is, it does not go on forever, but it does expand at the speed of light and since nothing can go faster than the speed of light, there is no way to catch it or see it.

Nothing that we know of can go faster than the speed of light.
