There doesn't have to be a naturally ocuring instance of a concept for the concept to be useful.

Infinity as a concept has lead to exactly 0 tech advancements. It’s not useful for anything and it doesn’t appear anywhere in nature.

that's not true since the limit of functions at infinities is a mathematics tool with practical applications in engineering.

In engineering contexts you only go so far to get the precision needed for the task. Infinity never comes into play, it becomes useless to check the limit of a function past a certain value.

that's a word representing the number, not the number itself. if you disagree, then the word "infinity" serves as a demonstration that infinity exists.

two is a unit or a symbol that forms part of a system of counting and calculating, and that represents an amount or position in a series
also, two is a retarded human concept and it's just semantics
the number two is irrelevant, "infinity" has nothing to do with "two"

It doesn’t matter in reality. Eventually X becomes so big that 1/x reaches 0 for every single engineering purpose possible.

The area under the curve is made up of discrete parts (pixels on a screen or particles), so you just add together all finite parts.

yes we use time to measure the distance we travel through infinity. We even started dating it all sorts of ways
If you want an example of infinity in real life, put two mirrors towards each other and look inside. it seems that there is a boundless amount of space and repetition inside of them
that’s a real example of infinity

the universe is bounded in spacetime.

the type of thinking humans engage in is a type of abstraction driven approximation. it's useful to take finite shortcuts to make predictions rather than try to calculate everything out which is unreasonable due to escalating complexity. the entire field of mathematics is a shortcut for pathfinding certain problems, usually by abstracting away the iterative process so that instead of brute force trial and error, you can make educated approximations so that you measure twice and cut once. because of this creative process, mathematics can also solve problems that are hallucinations in the mind of mathematicians, and also build useful tools of thinking for future mathematicians to build upon, often the difference between these is unclear so mathematicians are treated like court astrologers and allowed to dabble in their mysticism without too much hassle.

the world we inhabit is one of precision engineering, detailed manufacturing schema and competent industrial processes, stable international supply chains and feedback driven logistics, product development cycles and market access both for distribution and for profit seeking.

for mass consumption of complex products to remain the standard for human civilization this process of how things become other things and how we use them will only become more complex and divorced from a human comprehensible understanding, and still this problem of is there infinity or not will be irrelevant.

it's a non problem now, it will be one in 2000 years, and in 2 billion, and even in 10^10 ten times + 23 years into the future.

>>16173327
Because even if you want it all, you cannot have it all by the very nature of what we're looking at. If all infinity ever meant was:
>take all that you can
instead of
>take all
then nobody would have a problem with it. But then most foundations of math would come crashing down with it.

Wrong. If something has no limit, it extend to infinity, by definition. since infinity literally means without limit.

No, the concept of an infinite process allows you to make assumptions when dealing with an infinite series about what would happen to a trend if it continued without end.

>It doesn’t matter in reality.
I repeat: The concept of infinity is usefull regardless of there being a natural instance of infinity or not. Alot of the math that is part of my work (yes engineering, critical communications, QPSK n shit, research heavy office) would probably not work or be very cumbersome if there was no infinitiy. I'm sure this goes for other peoples engineering related work too, cant really calculate say for example escape velocity without the initial assumption of ending up with infinity potential energy relative to the very center of the body whichs surface you want to leave, can you ?
The fact that 1/x always reaches a value that in the specific context can not be measured, generated or whatever is a moot point. Maybe read the last posting again.
>pixels on a screen or particles
No. Just no. Also not every quantum is certain. Go do solid state physics without infinity. The fun thing is actually that the concept of infinity was used several times in creation of the device and infrastructure you are ignorantly using to spread this nonesense.
