haha dude you embarras your self
your definitions just prove my point:
"unlimited or unmeasurable" so if something approaches the unlimited it means it is of a size that is beyond massive, however it stil can exist as a measurable size ie. it is not unmeasurable
calculus uses limits to calculate both infinitesimally small numbers and numbers that approach infinity
limit 0 means that the number can go on indefinitely so long as it does not hit 0 ie. 0.1, 0.001. 0.00001 and so on this is also stated as "a number approaching zero"
limit infinity means that the number can just keep growing this is also referred to as "a number approaching infinity"
so as you can see the statement "approaching infinity" is a basic concept of Calc
by the way i minored in philosophy and out of every last word you used in the last post the only thing that deals with philosophy is the word paradox and the concept of infinity... your post would have been better if you started with mentioning english course as you went on to give me a definition and not discuss philosophy
You note the definition, and yet you still try and argue its meaning. Hilarious.
If you minored in Philosophy then you would know its a way of analyzing and assessing problems, and not a language.
To point out where you're wrong, since i know you just like to argue and clearly ignore facts presented before you.
You stated the word infinity as an object, or as a number. Thus rendering it a noun (refer to definition of Infinite as a noun)
The OP spoke of infinite mass, therefore rendering the word an adjective (refer to definition of infinite used as adjective).
Since i was answering him, and not you. My point has never been anything but pertinent, and yours unfortunately has nothing to do with what either of us stated.
Hug your calc goodnight, was gd's.
