Does infinity exist?

Hey I know some of you here are whiz kids, so I dropped by to ask a little question.

DOES INFINITY EXIST? And if so, then how do you know? Can you prove it? Or is it a pigment of your imagination?


Awaiting earnest replies...

Ok

I’ll await earnest replies in on-topic then.

(Btw outer-space is not proof for infinite measure. Scientists only hypothesize that outer-space’s cubic area is infinite. No one has proved it yet.)

Pheonix, thank you for your competent response.


Anyways, my logic is that since no person can transverse infinity, it is impossible to prove it’s existence. It would take an infinite amount of time, infinite mindpower, and infinite perseverance to prove that infinity does really exist.

Nonetheless we consider infinity to be real, through faith.

Faith in infinity, faith in God, faith in reality... That’s my motto.

The question of how can we prove infinity exists can perhaps only be answered by the challenge - can we prove it does not exist? Perhaps, INFINITY is nothing more than all that which we cannot as yet see or know. .... all that appears to be nothing more than 'randomness', ie- without any discernible order. - JAMSHID.

What’s the highest number you can think of? I can always beat it with a higher number by simply adding a 1 to it.
