Has anyone discovered a way to grasp the idea of infinity I probably don't have a grasp, but as always I have an opinion. I don't "believe" in infinity. There is a particle so small that none smaller exists, there is a place so far away that nothing exists beyond it, there is a unit of time so quick that happenings jump discontinuously from one instance to the next. Everything is finite. Maybe future time goes on forever. It appears that the universe is expanding fast enough, and expanded even faster earlier, such that we could never reach the end even at the speed of light, but there is still an end. There is a limit to thoughts and ideas too. Information can be stored via connections, and the number of connections can grow exponentially over the number of actual object being connected, however it is still not infinite. TP - who is getting a headache.

How can a finite creature ever grasp, really grasp, the concept of infinity?
