Default Re: How large is infinite?

I do not think infinite actually exists. Infinite is merely a tool to say, 'We do not know'. In math it commonly takes the place for "I do not Know" and there are very many mathematical variations on infinity. 'I do not know' is not as precise as 'infinite' (not that 'infinite' is precise)

One Scientist will tell you today that the universe is Infinite. then the following breath tell you it gets bigger every day.
Infinite - Not a finite thing. If the universe is infinite today' then yesterday it must have at least been somewhat less than infinite. From some point searching for infinity becomes as a religion, some do not believe in it, some do. If you are inclined to a religious belief the acceptance of infinity seems totally acceptable.

I think, size than we could not possibly imagine is a probably a good way to describe it. Or simply look at its varied use in maths. But does it exist. . I personally would rather be dead than live in an infinite place.

The Question is confusing. 'How large is infinite?' It is not big, or small. it is not a finite thing.

Infinity has no boundary or limitations - it is merely a concept that we use as a tool we vary the concept to suit the job at hand. . . infinity has infinite variety, not even bordered by our own imagination..

If you were to define a size for infinity. I could merely imagine it to be bigger and you would simply be wrong... such is the nature of a concept...
