Infinity
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Infinity, also written ∞, is larger than any number that can possibly be imagined. The term comes from a Latin word meaning "without end".
Infinity is not really a number, because it does not behave like numbers. Numbers can be counted, but infinity cannot be counted. Nowadays, people are proposing that infinity is just an abstract concept.
Infinity can be broken up in two different kinds; potential and actual infinity. Potential infinity is a process that never stops. For example, adding 10 to a number. No matter how many times 10 is added, 10 more can still be added. Actual infinity is something that we cannot imagine or put a value on in our system of concepts.
