Have any of you ever look at something think hard enough and it changes? I sometimes look at sandals for instance and think of it as just a platform for your feet to walk on with a strap, and it changes how it looks, If sometimes I look at someones face long enough and examine all details, the face looks different. It's not just limited to looks, if i think of certain ideas or thoughts they change as I take two steps to the left and five steps backwards (metaphorically). It's like that for a lot of things that would take a really long time to talk about. Is it just me who looks at the world differently sometimes? And just in case your wondering, I don't do drugs so that's not the answer.
In other words, What is infinity. I toiled with that one for a while too. How about "What is sight? where is the projector screen in your head. Your medulla does it for you, but how? How is thought?"
Oh and there is no such concept of infinity. Name me one thing that is infinite. Time possibly, but when no one is there to count it, will it exist/matter?

Pi is infinite, if you divide any number by zero you get infinity, sure most people say you can't divide by zero but I thought about it and the answer is infinity.

Ah, the existance of something that is 'infinite' has been a subject of debate for years. I believe that nothing is infinite, everything will end at one point. Before the Big Bang (I'm just stating my beliefs, dont change this debate into a religious one,) there was no time, all matter was compressed into nothingness in the initial stages. After the huge explosion, time, matter and space came to existance. We all know the universe if finite, so when the universe is non-existant, time will not exist either.

Of course, infinity definitely exists in mathematics, but not in the real word. That is not an arguement you can hold up to prove somethings are infinite.
Sometimes you can think so deep that you start getting towards the bottom, and then you don't even know if there's a bottom anymore.
It's this state that occasionally drives people mad. Alternatively you can beat a hasty retreat, overreact...or you can get meta-critical.
I believe the final option is the most desirable. If you're given to introspection, I encourage you to start thinking about thinking.
Also, if you divide by zero, you don't get infinity. More correctly, the solution is undefined, because as a number theory rule, you cannot divide by zero...not even to get "infinity".
Ya, what Strop said is correct. Dividing by zero is undefined. But if you take a fraction and have the denominator approach 0, its limit will be infinity. As the denominator approaches 0 the fraction approaches infinity, so All points around Den=0 indicate that it should be nfinity, but at exactly den=0 it does not exist.
I know it's technically undefined but I was having one of my weird thought sessions and thought that 0 is not bigger then 1 so it can go into 1, an infinite amount of times it's a different kind of infinite the most things use, lets say for instance 1 goes into Pi an infinite amount of times, 1 if filling up the numbers but the numbers never end so it's infinite, but zero going into anything it can be placed in it an infinite amount of times, but it's not filling anything.
@ skyla I don't know if infinity exist anywhere but mathematics, theres not enough proof, but I personally believe that the universe is infinite, but no way to prove so your just as right as I am. Also before time started, well how did it, if no time was passing by, then how could anything start? I know [currently] there is absolutely no way to prove this but for time to even make sense it had to of had no start, it was just always there, but there could've been time ticking in absolute nothingness and then some unknown force [God?] made the big bang. (And again, lets not make this a debate of religion)
