Infinity is a concept that is real, although it is a brainchild of man. There is nothing imaginary about infinity. Imaginary is something that is understood by all that it's possible for it to exist, but it necessarily does not exist, because that was preemptively put forth that it does not.


So what are you saying then?
Does infinity exist?

If so, what is it?
If it is a "concept" what is it a concept of?





you keep going against the very laws you have used earlier in statements you make to prove one of your other points. infinity has to exist for the simpilist of facts "I think it exists, therfore it exists"


That is why its a paradox and that is why it boggles my mind.

What "laws" are you talking about am I going against?

I thought I was just presenting the logic.

infinity has to exist for the simpilist of facts "I think it exists, therfore it exists"


Yes, Okay- if it exists, then what is it? If it is a concept, what is it a concept of?

What boggles my mind???

A gazillion things...


One thing that has had me in tangles recently is the comment David Suzuki made at a conference in melbourne recently...

"...the age of enlightenment is over. The last enlightening thing man has done was send a man to the moon. Everything since then has been about repairation of what man has done before...there has been nothing new man has done since...."


I keep thinking and thinking, stretching my poor enfeebled mind for a single new and unrelated to anything else thing mankind has done...and I suspect he is right...

Every new thing is build upon something else...or to fix something man has already done...frown



This is true. This is how the universe unfolds from moment to moment.
Here is a scientific paper that mentions this:

I used to want to know how to walk into a crowded room and walk out with any women you want. But that one's been solved.

I guess the mystery I would want to see is, How to make the perfect profile!

I did have one that got about 3 messages a week. I lived the dream. All I needed to know after that was how to master the art of seduction.

Alas I am no "Charlie harper" I thought I could do better and deleted the profile. I could not do better, and have since given up.

I have better things to do than date an endless stream of desperate lonely women.

I find it's much more satisfying to simply date myself! Have a few drinks, take myself to dinner, and later on I sometimes get lucky.
The bonus is, I never have to sleep on the couch tongue2
