OT: Dont positve Infinity and negative infinity ultimately converge??

Not in the usual Euclidean space. In a compact space they certainly could. For example, wrap the coordinate axes around a sphere, shrinking all four infinities down to a point on the back of the sphere. (This is a standard trick called one-point compactification.) There, positive and negative infinities are actually the same point. The same thing happens in one dimension when you turn an infinite line into a circle by "pasting together" the infinity points.
