...(after infinite distance) falls into earth, would exist infinite potential energy if E=mgh and h is infinite?
Everybody remember infinity is a "concept" (a very useful one) but not a physical "thing!"Chronos said:Irrelevant, anything at infinity has no influence on the observable universe

E=mgh is only an approximation, valid for objects near the Earth's surface.Noduagga said:...(after infinite distance) falls into earth, would exist infinite potential energy if E=mgh and h is infinite?
According to the theory of relativity, space is infinite and expanding. This means that an object can theoretically run forever without reaching an end point.
Based on current scientific understanding, there is no limit to how far an object can run in the universe. However, factors such as the object's speed and the expansion of the universe may affect the distance it can cover.
If an object were to somehow run an infinite distance in the universe, it would continue moving at a constant speed without ever reaching an end point. This is because the universe is constantly expanding, so there would always be more space for the object to move into.
In theory, yes, an object can run forever in the universe without stopping or slowing down. However, this would require the object to have an infinite source of energy, which is currently not possible according to the laws of physics.
The concept of infinity in this context refers to the idea that the object can continue moving without reaching an end point, rather than an actual infinite distance. It is a theoretical concept that helps us understand the vastness and expansion of the universe.
