Infinity: There is an argument about wether infinity can be divided into two. Here is the only explanation that you need to read. I am going to be DOGMATIC on this one because its as true and flawless as a diamond made from peanut butter..

before we can answer this question, can infinity be divided into two, 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 you argue against this answer, you have my pity... hmm.gif

Thanks for that.
I agree with it as a principle, sure.
What's the point of the thread - do you want us to discuss, argue, what?

Didn't you already post this exact thing in the "Infinity" thread?
Wookie McFly
Yeah, not sure what the discussion is here...

It's like I made a thread saying "The Sky is Blue" anyone who argues against that is a moron or insane...

I think we all get the point about what 'infinity' actually means and hence would understand your following statements. But whats your point? People either beleive in the infinate or they beleive in the finite.

the whole point to my thread is, to end the speculation. you read it, the answer is there, problem solved. start a new topic...

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.

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

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...

Infinity does not have to be mathematics...

Infinity is life itself...

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

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."

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...]

For you i say this once, the concept of infinity means to have no end

Thats why it seems endless...

By the way...

Its not that hard to use common sense...

This post as been by Jester of Dreams: Today, 3:36 PM



You should read back what youve written, and then apply common sense to it. youll find that youre pushing your own buttons...

Ah, I get it (I think)

It upsets you that some people have an alternative view on something, so you figured that if you started a new thread, saying how your view was DEFINITELY the RIGHT ONE!!! (irritating capitals optional), that would end the argument.

Smart move. I’m convinced.
