RE: Why the universe is most likely not infinite – Part 3: Infinity as a placeholder for ignorance

in STEMGeeks2 years ago

If we look for the similarity of the infinity of everything you mention in relation to the infinitesimal calculus, for example there are rational functions that when the variable X tends to a specific real number then its real image tends to infinity, however when applying limit we realize that its image is of real variable, However, in other occasions, not even applying the theory of limit we can find an image of real variable but rather that its image is equal to infinity, which leads me to conclude that in the universe and all its existence there are finite and infinite elements at the same time.

Limit with a variable going to infinity is a mathematical concept and doesn't necessarily mean that the infinity exist in the real world. I will explain this in an upcoming post in more detail.
