    What do you mean by quantify? If you mean giving it a numerical value, then by definition, no. If we could give it other definitions then perhaps we could. To a primitive society that has few needs, having more than they need could be infinite. To our society the only thing infinite in a non- numerical sense would be human stupidity. I think some guy named Einstein said something like that.

    Hello Rosie:

    No, but we try because the human mind simply cannot contemplate infinity..

  • No. The Trump questions seem to be infinite.

    Probably not with our finite brain capacity . Maybe if we were able to continue to evolve infinitely we could develop a mind eventually that could grasp that sort of thing. This post was edited by Kittigate at October 22, 2016 4:15 PM MDT
