If we consider a number 9999999………. infinite times then no other number that can be represented bigger than that without plus or multiply operation. So we can be sure infinity is an odd number am I right

schtruklyn said:be warned: set theory is inconclusive in Godel sense.
Continuity theorem is both provable and not provable. This drove Cantor mad and put him into asylum.
micromass said:Yes, and so is the theory of natural numbers. I don't see anybody warning people for using natural numbers.
schtruklyn said:The point is: explaining some issue by introducing another, even more complicated issue, is not a good way to explain anything.
For instance, I can still today find manuscripts on-line trying to prove or disprove Cantor's continuum hypothesis, even on arxiv.
Infinity is a mathematical concept that represents a quantity or value that is larger than any finite number. It is often symbolized by the symbol ∞ and can be thought of as never-ending or limitless.
No, infinity is not a number in the traditional sense. It is not a specific value that can be counted or measured, but rather a concept that represents something larger than any finite number.
Yes, there are different types of infinity in mathematics. For example, there is countable infinity, which includes whole numbers and integers, and uncountable infinity, which includes real numbers and continuous sets.
No, infinity cannot be added, subtracted, or divided like regular numbers. Attempting to do so can lead to nonsensical or contradictory results. However, certain mathematical operations, such as limits and integrals, involve working with infinity in a meaningful way.
No, infinity is not a number and therefore cannot be compared to other numbers in terms of size. It is a concept that represents something larger than any finite number, but it is not the largest number.
