No. You could count them if you had the time, energy, and will to do so (or could be bothered). I don't think infinity exists in real terms. A lot of posts have said it can't be comprehended, but I believe it can. Infinity really only exists as a mathematical construct. The people who constructed it must have understood the concept of infinity to work through the mathematics involved. In real terms, i think there is a beginning and end to everything, which includes time and the multiverse.

before we can answer this question we need to agree on one thing, infinite means never ending, without limit, eternal, bottomless.

If we all agree on that, then the answer is simple, dont ask such a question whos answer is so plainly obvious.

And the answer if that wasnt obvious enough is: No

a finite distance between points a & b can be divided by two, and all divisions inbetween. the end result of all those divisions will be no greater than the sum of the distance between point a & b.

having said that infinity can not be divided in two, leaves us with only one possibility, that a single point in space can be considered half way since the distance in any direction from that point is infinite. this single point halfway mark will also apply to the position of any point in space, since the universe is infinite. so no matter where you are in the universe you will be at the halfway mark, and so will your freind who lives down the road, or the man in the moon.

if that sounds right to you, you may use that as your answer, if it does not sound right, then keep on hurting your brain...

thanks

My sister was eight years old when she defined "Infinity" to me and I think she did pretty good for herself.

She said "Infinity is like looking but never seeing."

First to start things off...

You can not exaclty count every single cell in the human-body...

Thats why it is uncountable...
Second to start things off...

Its not hurting my head...Good for You

Infinity does not have to be mathematics...ok then elaborate, and explain the concept of infinity without using mathematics. did i not mention in the start of my post, words that described it without using mathematics, eternal, without limit, bottomless and so forth..pay attention to what you read please

Infinity is life itself...Explain please

Infinity is also unexplored becuase no-one can find the end of infinity itself...

(laughing)

It look like I pushed your button...

Infinity can have an end...

All it is...

It just keeps repeating itself...

Thats why it seems endless...

Me and my friend were talking in math class about, what would Infinity divided by 2 be?

Because infinity divided by 1 = infinity

so infinity divided by 2 = 2 infinitys, since theyre infinitys wouldent it just be like duplicating infinity?

This is starting to hurt my mind. Give me your opinions.

Not necessarily. Where you are at point 'A' is the beginning point between you and your destination, point 'B.' Since point 'A' could be considered the beginning point of any direction (picture point A as the center of a bicycle tire with spokes radiating outwards in all directions [even up and down]) you are at the nexus - a beginning point and the center simultaneously. If you look at time/space continuum and point 'A' is the 'Present,' then you have almost a crystal-like formation with lines of continuity radiating out in every conceivable direction. If there is such thing as a 'split' in a given line of continuity (parallel universe), then the lines split in two and begin yet another nexus of 'Present.' So bearing this is mind, you cannot possibly be at the center of the universe at any given time - you will always be someone else's destination (future) or their beginning point (past).

How's that for an instant migraine?

Hi,

I never said that point A was a starting point and point b was a destination point.
re-read it please.

To Jester of dreams. Could you please explain why you don't think it is possible to count the number of cells in a human body. I may have missed something. At any one point in time the number of cells is finite (even if very large). So simply snap dry the human being, then count the cells. If the argument is that in a living body you can't count them because they are multiplying so quickly the answer changes before you can reach it, this may be technically true, but has no bearing on the definition, or the nature, of infinity. The number of cells may vary but is not infinite. If we don't already have it , we will one day have the technology to take a snapshot in time of any particular human body, which allows us to count the number of cells in it. Perhaps, as I say, I have missed a critical element of your argument.

If the Universe is finite (definite), is the human mind, or any other capable mind, breaching the laws of reality by conceiving of the infinite? Is conceiving of that which does not exist beyond conception the ultimate torture of being human?

If the universe is infinite, we've got a long way to go. The infinite and zero have something in common; halving them is a non sequitur, a logical fallacy. As said previously, they are only defined by their undefinability.

If we 'could' halve infinity, would we end up with nothing? You can eat the cake but you can't have it too?

And you don't think infinity exist in reality?...

Only in mathematics?...

Infinity exists energy for example is infinate it never dies and it has always been there.

Infinity means forever as I said...

There is no such number as infinity. Even if it was any attempt to divide it by any known number would result in a never ending equation. An equation that could never be solved is the end result and is the answer your looking for.

Here is one for you though...

Press your fingers together now the real question is are they actually touching? Or are the atoms in your fingers just infinatly close to one another?

Press your fingers together now the real question is are they actually touching? Or are the atoms in your fingers just infinatly close to one another?

but how do we know that infinity actually exists? because we don't know of anything that has no beginning and that has no end, do we? you could say time has no beggining or no end, but there is no proof of that, nor is there proof that the universe is infinite, or that energy is infinite.
however there is also no proof that some of these things are finite, meaning that there is an end and a beggining.

the world may SEEM to be infinite, but there is no scientific proof for that to be true

I'm not sure why some people think that I'm still talking about this?...
I've had changed the question for a for a few days now...

mrhamblee couldn't see that until I posted in their post...
Nice one!...

Didn't see that one coming...

Yes, they are touching...

But, are the atoms in your fingers just infinity close to same in the human-body...

What about outside the human-body?...

like water, air, earth, food?...

It could be possible though
