Is ifinity more than ifinity and beyond?
yes infinity is more than infinity and beyond because infinity and beyond stops at beyond and infinity keeps going
What do you call the highest number?
Sometimes "infinity" is used to denote "the highest number" However, this usage is not correct. The idea of infinite is that there is no bound to something; for instance there are infinite whole numbers. The problem with saying that "infinity" is the highest number is what happens if you add 1 to it? The new number you get is clearly 1 higher than the old number. This may seem paradoxical; the solution is that there is no highest number, there is always a bigger number.
Is -37 a rational or an irrational number?
-37 is the ratio of -37 to 1. It's also the ratio of 37 to -1, and also the ratio of, for example, 481 to -13, and also an infinite number of other ratios of whole numbers. So it's pretty clearly rational.
How do you produce an irrational number with no zeros in it?
The number sqrt(2) has no zeros in it, only the digit 2!If you mean that the decimal representation has no 2 in it, you could create an infinite decimal fraction by selecting, at random, a digit from the set {1,2,3,...,9}. Clearly it cannot have a 0 in it and, thanks to the randomness, it will be irrational.
What is seeing clearly what is done?
You have to see clearly for what it is going on could be very important to have knowledge about.

8+2HELP ME PLEASE?
EASY I lied 8 on it side is infinity so the answer is clearly INFINITY TO THE POWER OF 2 Math !
Does the notion of infinity require that everything will at some point exist?
There are different ways to understand the concept of infinity. There are also different ways to understand the concept of existence. Answering this question clearly, then, would involve specifying both the nature of infinity and the nature of existence. At least the reality of some kinds of infinity would not entail that everything will at some point exist. For example, there is no apparent reason why all possible objects would exist even if the world is spatially infinite. .
Why is a set of living organisms in the Indian Ocean an infinite set?
I may be misunderstanding the question. I don't think such a set is infinite in a mathematical sense. In other words, even as a purely mental exercise, the living organisms in the Indian Ocean at a given moment would not meet this criterion: If you attempt to create a one-to-one mapping of all living organisms in the Indian Ocean with the positive real numbers (or even positive integers) on the number line, you would clearly run out of organisms with an infinity of numbers to spare. On the other hand, the living organisms in the Indian Ocean are clearly uncountable. In that sense we might think of the set as infinite, I suppose.
What order do thickness length and width go?
Their order doesn't make a bit of difference, as long as you clearly identify each one.
Why odd number cannot exist in nomal distribution?
It's not clear to me what this question means. Any real number between negative infinity and positive infinity can arise from a population with a normal distribution, and this clearly includes odd numbers.
What is infintatiy?
This is the name given to a "number" which is far larger than any number you can imagine. For example 1/x, when x is for all practical purposes, zero. Again, 1/infinity is zero. You cannot write out the value of infinity. For, twice it, the answer is infinity. It is used (implicitly) in calculus, for example, when doing integrals. The area under a curve representing a function on a graph can be found as a summation of lots of thin rectangles, whose width is small enough so that the height of each remains almost constant across the width. When you let the width go to "zero", you get an "infinite" number of rectangles and the summation sign is altered to that curvy "S" like symbol, and the width is represented by "dx", if the base coordinate is x. The area under the curve is finite and calculable, although the number of rectangles is effectively infinite. Another example is "the Sum to infinity" of some series, where the length of the series is infinite. An example is the sum (from n=0 to infinity) of all the terms x to the power n, divided by factorial n. (factorial n is the product of all integers 1 to n). This Sum is just e^x, or exponential of x. But you would never get there if you tried to do it simply by adding up all those terms!An interesting question might be "is the universe finite?" First ask yourself "can I go on an infinite journey on the surface of the earth?" Yes you can, if you go on a spiral path starting at the north pole, with the distance between the spirals being infinitely small. So you might conclude erroneously that the surface of the earth is infinite, when it clearly is not.answer 2. Infinity may be considered an arbitrarily large number. It is therefore uncountable, and beyond measure. It is best considered as a concept.
Is god infinite?
There are clearly two sides to this debate: either god is infinite, or he is not. I've addressed the question using primarily the definition of "god" that is held by the Abrahamic faiths and have not really addressed the idea of "god" held in faiths such as Buddhism and Hinduism. First of all it's important to define what one is refering to by applying "infinite" to God. Is this a reference to his power? His size? His age? Clearly infinity can apply on a number of different levels and on each application of it to different parameters, different problems arise. With regards to his power, there is the famous paradox of "can god create an immovable object?". However this is question is a tautology and gods inability to create something more powerful than himself is not actually a weakness. Rather it is a testament to his infinite power. In terms of his size there are issues too. If God was infinitely large then we would all be part of God, and becaus God can't sin, even a part of him couldn't sin, which then creates problems. Also, part of infinity is also infinity, meaning we too would be infinitely large and all exactly the same, and that's not the case. So its probably fair to say God isn't infinite in size. In terms of his age, classically, god was said to be infinitely old. However if one applies a derivation of the "kalam argument" (which states that if the universe were infinitely old, we would have not concept of "now", as "now" is the end of known time and infinite time obviously doesn't have a start or end. Ergo, the universe is not infinite and does have a start and end) where we apply the argument to God instead of the universe. Here one could argue that as the concept of God is "sensed" now, but because God extends further into time (all of it in fact) we do not fully know God until he reach the end of infinite time - which of course is impossible - and thus we can never fully know God. However a rebuttal to this could be that, because God is an unchanging entity, if he is known to us as such at the start, then we actually know him as he is always from the beginning of time to the end.
How does an optical illusion work?
There are many different kinds of optical illusion, and the mechanisms behind them are different from each other. Most are reasonably well understood, some are still in question. See links for ideas. Here is a personal speculation: Those things around us that we can see clearly, with little or no ambiguity, are probably those things that were important to our survival during our evolution.
What is meant by inifinite acceleration?
The answer becomes clear with the aid of some simple mathematics. Acceleration is defined as (change in velocity)/(time for the change) . Clearly, then, acceleration is infinite whenever velocity changes in "no time".
What will be the sum of irrational numbers?
There is no answer. If the sum is taken for irrationals positive irrationals only, then the answer is clearly + infinity, since the irrationals increase without limit. But there are negative irrationals so we need to consider the sum of irrationals from - infinity to + infinity. Each irrational has a matching negative irrational and these two sets are exhaustive. So, each can be paired off, and one might think that the sum of an infinite pairs of zeros is zero, right? NO, unfortunately not. The logic fails when the sum is over infinitely many terms as is illustrated below: 1-1+1-1 ... = 1+(-1+1)+(-1+1) ... = 1+0+0 ... = 1 or 1-1+1-1 ... = (1-1)+(1-1)+ ... = 0+0+ ... = 0 Incidentally, the above example was used to "prove" that 1 = 0
