Now of Infinity
Lastly, the discovery of Infinity comes to the now of Infinity. Regarding the applications of Infinity in the real world today. Andrew Hendrickson pointed out a poignant thought by Einstein, “only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former (2016).” Therefore, infinity, as discussed before is not a number, it is not a physical object, that we know of today, but as time has presented, infinity is under constant discovery. Fields have expanded since the period of the ancient Greeks. As stated above in the how of infinity, similar are the now of infinity. So, can there still be unfounded infinities left to be discovered? How is infinity used in our world of today?
Moreover, infinity …show more content…

Likewise, thought of the absolute can and is infinite or unrestrained. Subsequently, can an absolute not be infinite? Can a God not be all-knowing and ever-present? Is the One not boundless, and therefore cannot be put into the proverbial box of the finite? What or what can do not be proven is not a possibility within the Metaphysical realm. However, truly fascinating is the discovery, and the knowledge that is derived from the different studies, especially Metaphysically, that is brought forth by the infinite contemplation. Believing that the constant discovery is the key and delving deeper and deeper into the unknown with all the possibility that it is indeed endless and …show more content…

Accordingly, from the beginning of infinity history, from the Greeks, into the works of Newton, Plato, Aristotle, Galileo and Cantor’s ultimate discovery of the actual infinite. Starting from the beginning of the “What” is Infinity, not just a number, but can ultimately be anything that can be compared in a one to one correspondence without counting. Moreover, the “How” is infinity used in mathematics, encompassing most areas of modern mathematical fields, religion and physical infinities. Specifically, surrounding the areas of space, time, Metaphysics, Calculus, and Fractals. Then finally, ending with the “Now” of Infinity used in three distinct genres. That being mathematics, physical and the third metaphysical infinities. For instance, mathematically using set theory, or counting numbers. Physically, utilized in the occupations of Cosmology and Physics. Metaphysically searching for the ultimate possibilities of the One or a God of choice. These sections, What, How, and Now of Infinity have brought up many areas to continue studying and to reflect on that constant discovery of infinity. Since the essence of the word, infinity means endlessness, limitlessness or boundlessness. Leaving the research and discovery of infinity into the same state of the
