Don't be a jackass.[/quote] Like we said before, it is difficult to apply anything infinite to the real world. [/quote]Of course it is. I edited my post a moment after posting to reflect that such a question would be unanswerable, but I was trying to illustrate the unknowable idea of something of that context. I'm not refuting this concept. I'm simply asking whether this is an assumptive truth of humanity or a proven truth of mathematics. I guess a better question would be, is there a shadow of a doubt in your mind surrounding whether this concept is indisputable and will never be so?[/quote] It's not unanswerable. It's actually quite common to use infinity in real world calculations. See my previous post.
