Infinity

I believe in one single absolute infinity. In mathematics there are concepts of positive and negative infinity, or infinities of subsets, or other kinds of infinity. But if positive infinity and negative infinity both exist, then somewhere there must be a limit between them. That no longer fits the concept of infinity, because infinity has no limits and contains everything: positive infinity, negative infinity, and any other infinity.

Infinity is also a direction. Everything that is limited can move toward infinity or toward limitation. We can learn. How much can we learn? How do we measure learning? We can drive fast. How fast? Where is the speed limit? One could say the limit of learning is the power of the brain, but nobody knows that limit. One could say the speed limit is the speed of light, but there are scientific texts that describe going faster than light by bending space, and I say that one can appear where it is needed at once by changing the space parameter. So where is the limit? I say the limit is infinity.

Infinity is also a way of measuring. We have units such as gram, meter, second. We have measuring scales. From and to. On home devices or measuring devices. But if something goes far beyond measurement, we can say the value goes to infinity. We actually do this very often, even without thinking. Have you heard how people, when amazed by something, say: "divine", "God level", "the God of mathematics", "dances like God", and so on? Without knowing it, or on purpose, through culture or for other reasons, we compare God with infinity, and that is how I see God.

Does infinity really exist? I mean true infinity.

Let us do a simple thought experiment. Take a sheet of paper and start writing a digit on it. The biggest digit. In my mind I write the digit 9 (I like this digit more for this experiment). I do this many times until the whole sheet is full of these digits. We understand that there is also the other side of the sheet. So we turn the paper over and begin to write this digit on the back as many times as it fits. Then we can take another sheet of paper and do the same, and do it on many sheets of paper. Yes, we can fill hundreds, thousands, and millions of sheets until the sheets run out. So, to write even more digits, we reduce the size of the digit. But by how much? Let us reduce the size of the digit so much that we can write a digit the size of an atom or an electron. And on every electron and every atom we will write the digit 9. And so, in our mind, we write this digit on the atoms and electrons not only of paper, but of anything. On all matter in the universe. Now we can reduce the size of the digit even more, but in any case we come to the limit of the size of the universe. So if we look for infinity in the material world, it is not there. The fact that the universe has a limit already speaks about the impossibility of infinity in the material. We do not need to walk in our mind to the end of the universe to find the same thing. We can find it nearby. Look at the difference between forms. For example, two apples. One apple has a limited form, another apple lies next to it and also has a limited form. There is space between these apples. Matter in space is not merged into one solid layer of atoms; there are forms, apples, cars, people, planets, and so on. These very forms already show that infinity does not exist there. But infinity exists outside the material. Infinity, by limiting itself, creates everything else. So infinity exists, but it cannot be found in the material world.
