Why is infinity such a dreadful place?

'Infinity' is just a concept of something that is without limit. You find infinity used in math (numbers) and physics (distance or a measurement like time), a lot. Infinity is not a 'place', so cannot be dreadful.


What are all the numbers that have 4 in the tens place and 4 in the thousands place?

there are infinity of those, because numbers never end.


How something divided by zero equal to infinity?

Because zero is nothing. The figure zero isn't actually a number - it's a place-filler. Dividing anything by nothing will always result in the answer infinity.


Which number is larger than googolplex?

There is only one place above it, that is Googolplexplex or googolduplex. It contains a googolplex of zero's. Greater than googolplexplex is only infinity.


How can you define infinity?

Such boundless questions bring only finite remarks. What gets lost once one begins defining infinity? Could you define infinity? What infinite number of definitions could even hope to describe the vast and endless scope of infinity? What words could even wonder what infinite ways will go? Infinity has no place inside definitions that only seek to confine such unlimited abandon, such vastness that goes beyond vast, whose quantity remains hopelessly unquantifiable, whose timelessness remains indifferent to time certain in it's infinite belief that infinity will outlast time. The limitations of language, even mathematical equations, lets us know the sheer audacity of defining infinity. There are not enough words in the English language, nor any other, to give fair representation of infinity. What words could describe infinite ideas in a finite world? What words used to describe the finite could possibly give justice to the infinite? Words, words, words, in their endless pratter and never ending blather could never, ever, ever reach infinity with out infinity allowing words to do so. What infinite effort could ever hope to define infinity? How could anyone even dare? How can you define infinity. why cannt you just say boundless, unlimited, immeasurable, innumarable, not limited by number or person or something like that?
