Infinity is not a physical being. Its simply a word created by humans. It is nothing.



But..... Nothing is nothing, because nothing cannot exist. In physical form anyways.

Infinity can be proved by formulas

No number exists in physical form.....
Numbers are a concept.

two kinds of infinity.

1. that which has no beginning and goes on forever.
2. That which has a beginning, but goes on forever from beginning.

I like to think of the last one as more correct than the first one, but we all have our opinions.

Oddly enough there are different sizes of infinities.

Even more strange, there is a larger infinity in the continuous line between the numbers 0 and 1 than there is by counting up all the integers.
Don't think too much about infinity though. Some of the mathematicians who devote their lives to studying it, end up a little crazy.

like this dude, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Cantor
