Is anything physically infinite?

[Paladuck]

Stupidity.

[Arri]

Existance is infintie.

Time is infinite.

Numbers are infinite.

Just because we die or can't think that far ahead doesn't mean things stop there.

Inb4 someone tries to debate with me. I've said my piece and am not going to bother saying more.

[SR-71]

I agree with Arri. As we move into the realm of the metaphysical.

As far as I know, we have never observed anything to be infinite except as in intellectually fashioned, non-physical concepts(such as the mathematical concept of infinity), therefore I'm of the opinion that there is no point in firmly believing there is, at this current time.

Just because something is imaginable to us, does not make it a workable position in terms of understanding.
Personally I am at loss to understand the term infinity at all - To me, the moment we speak of "infinity", we're no longer speaking of physical reality, as a reality that actually has a "physical" infinity is completely paradoxical and nonsensical.
I.E, I think we can safely say that infinity is a concept that is meaningless in understanding the physical reality, and thus also meaningless to human understanding in general as we are situated in, and limited by, that very physical reality.

It might exist in some "deeper sense"(whatever that means), or it might not. But as far as science goes, and as far as human intellect goes, IMO it's just a useless term that people with limited imagination and curiosity used to label large and complex issues beyond their current understanding.

To me, using the word "infinity" is just as redundant as inserting religious ikons or explanations when faced with an unknown - It does not actually explain anything, and just ends up begging a tons of new questions that will probably just lead you away from any usefull knowledge since you're being distracted from the main issue.
This generally tends to happen if you jump to a erroneous conclusion from your initial question.

Only my love for you guys!


Also - what about this "matter can not be created or destroyed, only changed"?

Maybe the universe. Isn't it always expanding? Or is it always just moving? I dunno, I've heard so many theories I'm not sure which one is the accepted one.

its always expanding up to a point were itll start reversing and collapsing back in when its energy is lost so i guess back to the big bang were it may keep redoing the big bang for the rest of eternity. but i could be wrong.

He defeated your argument there already.

just becuase were not here to comprehend something doesnt mean it doesnt exist. Theres a black hole at the center of our galaxy, can you see it? could we always see it? nah, but that doesnt mean it only started existing when we put scopes in outer space to see em.

Arri was quoted to answer Wormhole's statement.

Wow metaphysical i believe this is some kind of recipe where u put egg, ginger, avocado..put it in blender and drink it every morning..?

[Xenonight2]

No, it's a term referring to something that is without material form or substance. Something highly abstract or theoretical.

You learn this stuff in like second grade. =/

Once we're all dead there will be no one to ascribe meaning to anything like existence or time or numbers, the idea of infinity is pretty dumb in practice.

Not really.

How can you have a definite answer to an indefinite question?

The point of inquiry... is... beyond our measly comprehension. Attempts will be otherwise futile.
