    As the movie The Fault In Our Stars emphasizes, some infinities are bigger than other infinities. So who knows???

    I'll go with Slarti's response. We can have irrational numbers that go to infinity (like pi), but infinity is not a particular number.

    Infinity is not a valid value. It's a concept, not a number.

    (Sorry to get all math Prof on you. I asked the Prof that question in first year as an undergraduate, that's what he told me.) This post was edited by Slartibartfast at June 13, 2017 5:53 PM MDT

    I pondered that before I wrote the question and was hoping for responses like yours and Standard Alien's.
