Infinity was first described in India. It was first described in Isha Upanishad from India that dates back to 2nd millennium BCE as in the following verse.

Om purnam-adah purnam-idam; purnaat purnam-udacyate.

purnasya purnam-aadaaya,

purnam-Eva-avashishyate

The literal translation:

That is infinite, this is infinite;

From That infinite this infinite comes.

From That infinite, this infinite removed or added;

Infinite remains infinite.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
