[QUOTE="formeng, post: 1628801, member: 630525"] Hi, Well, perhaps you're right about no perception of infinity,etc., but I see it a little differently. First, I think you're talking about numbers, for which infinity is fairly well defined by mathematicians. Then in the same breath, you're talking about infinite existence of all things. If you're talking about a spherical universe, then infinity goes on forever, but if you're talking about a hyperbolic universe that's another question. Also, I would respectfully point out that cosmologists have some fairly definite perceptions of what an infinite universe would mean. For example, there would necessarily be another person exactly like you except for the placement of at most a few molecules. There all sorts of other interesting implications, but maybe I'd better stop here before I get too far afield of the subject of your question. FE [/QUOTE]
