Hyperinfinte or transinfinite

[skinnyal]

Is there a simple analogy or pictorial representation of that which is beyond infinity?

I have already heard of levels of infinity, and that only mixes complexity with infinity.

I was hoping someone out there could describe what could potentially lie beyond an infinite

physical space or aether, however you want to describe it.

Are you asking a math question or a physics question? The answers would be quite different.

And while we're at it, what is it about - infinity having no end and thus there not being anything "beyond" it - that is confusing you?

 

[CRGreathouse]

Are you asking about different size of infinity, as in set theory? The cardinality of the reals vs. the cardinality of the integers?

I understand the concept of infinity as a never-ending quantity or size. However, the terms "hyperinfinite" or "transinfinite" do not have a well-defined meaning in the scientific community. These terms may be used in mathematics or philosophy, but they are not commonly used in the study of physical phenomena.

In terms of a simple analogy or pictorial representation, it is difficult to imagine something beyond infinity because by definition, infinity is limitless. However, one way to think about it is to consider the concept of a fractal. A fractal is a never-ending pattern that repeats itself on smaller and smaller scales. In a similar way, one could imagine a universe or physical space that is infinitely expanding and constantly creating new levels or layers of complexity. This could be seen as a type of "hyperinfinite" or "transinfinite" space.

Overall, the idea of something beyond infinity is a complex and abstract concept that may be better explored in the realms of philosophy or mathematics rather than science. As scientists, we strive to understand and explain the natural world within the confines of observable phenomena and evidence-based theories. The concept of something beyond infinity may be intriguing to contemplate, but it is not something that can currently be studied or measured in the scientific sense.
