Infinity is a concept describing something without any bound, like natural numbers which are never-ending.
But, is it even possible to have something which never ends?
In reality, there isn’t anything which is infinite. We say that the universe is infinite, but we aren’t sure about it. In our collective imaginations, we tend to believe that natural numbers are infinite. Add one and you will get another number never seen before.
Anything which traps itself into an infinite loop of repetition destroys itself.
An audio system with a microphone and a speaker crashes if it is trapped inside an infinite loop of energy, going through the microphone in a form of sound and coming out, amplified, from the speaker in a form of sound. The cycle continuous till the system has collapsed.
Infinite loops are not stable and thus cannot exist.
Counting to infinity: An infinite loop
If you try to count till infinity, though we know we will never reach the end, all we need is a +1.
If we try this we will end in an infinite loop of addition, which will be unstable to exist.
But, how human imagination can be unstable? As numbers and concept of addition is a result of our collective imagination?
The laziness syndrome
If it doesn’t exist on the first page of the Google it doesn’t exist at all. Similarly, if we aren’t able to count until the end of the number line then it doesn’t have an end.
The reason why we say that the universe is infinite is that we aren’t able to reach till the end.
It is an assumption, similarly the never-ending numbers are an assumption too.
