    I believe there’s an absolute infinity.

          Anybody remember what the floating brain appearing out of nothing theory because infinity exists?

              Thank you! An enjoyable albeit maybe terrifying (for the individual) thought if infinity exists

                Heck, you don’t even need an absolute infinity. Just a universe with enough fluctuation, and there are quite a few theories with that.

    Infinity is a concept that we made up for the purpose of explaining some math. Prove me wrong.

      IMO? That infinity is just a concept to occupy professional thinkers that breaks every construct wherein it’s applied.

        Where and how does it end? Both infinity and non-infinity seem strange to me.

      There is currently no way to observe any of this empirically, so the question is pretty much moot. It’s speculation either way.

    I misread that as “absolute immunity” and thought you had posted to the wrong community.

    The meme works just as well, “absolute immunity” is just more topical and political than mathematical
