∞ of course. How is infinity possible?
Does America have ∞ amount of dollars and opportunity like how the baby boomers thought? Hell no. |

Yes, an ancient paradox that seemingly governs all our being.
I"ve always been astounded not only by infinity but that we always think of infinity as GOING UP - GETTING LARGER whereas there is just as much that goes down, gets smaller.......
Whywe do, I don't know. But it is a human universal I believe.

That is why they call it an abstract number .....
it represents a number so big we cannot imagine it.
+∞ is infinitely big
-∞ is infinitely negative
1/∞ is infinitely small
how about 1/0, what is that? --> ∞ |
