Undergrad What are the Implications of this thought I had?
It means that there is an infinite distance between any natural number n and infinity, and a finite distance between n and zero.- mr3000

Undergrad What are the Implications of this thought I had?
For any natural number n, there exists an infinite number of natural numbers higher than n, and a finite number of natural numbers smaller than n. Therefore, n is always infinitely closer to 0 than infinity What does this mean?- mr3000

A mathematical zen koan
Say you have a dot. That dot explodes into an infinite number of dots. Each of those dots explode into a new infinite number of dots. Each of those dots explode into a new infinite number of dots, ad infinitum. How many dots do you have in total?- mr3000

An intuition I had about infinite numbers -- Is it valid?
There are an infinite number of numbers. You can take those infinite numbers and slice them into an infinite number of infinite slices each of which can be sliced the same way ad infinitum.- mr3000

Will anyone alive today see a permanent colony on the Moon or Mars?
The moon was the first other planet we reached. Mars will be the second. The second is nothing and will barely even be remembered compared to the first.- mr3000

Undergrad The natural numbers and logical consequences of them
The definition of infinity is that it is how many natural numbers there are. You can take those infinite natural numbers and slice them into an infinite number of infinite sets, each of which can then be sliced the same way ad infinitum. What does this mean/imply?- mr3000

Undergrad My basic understanding of set theory
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom_of_infinity This is the best definition of infinity in my opinion, and it is mathematically rigorous- mr3000

Undergrad My basic understanding of set theory
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Infinity&oldid=1325158009 Up until a few weeks ago, this was the definition as given in the opening sentence. “Infinity is something that is boundless, limitless, endless, or larger than any natural number”- mr3000
