consider the graph below which is
y = 1/x. Then ask the question: where does this graph touch the x axis? The answer is both + infinity and - infinity. In other words the reciprocals of + and - infinity are both zero, causing + and - infinity to look as being equal.
Another interesting way of viewing this is as follows:
Many graphs are continuous, i.e. there is one line continues without breaking. However this graph is discontinuous at the x and axes which it never meets …… until + or - infinity.
Now a way of looking at how these two separate parts of this hyperbola could join to make one continuous line would be to look at the x and y axes as being curved (with an infinite radius) to ultimately join up. If this occurred then -infinity would join up with +infinity on both axes, and the graph would be a continuous function in both vertical and horizontal directions.
In some ways it is a natural way to look at it, as it is said that space is curved anyway, so in reality + and - infinity seem to be the same thing.

You’re not teaching me anything other than things I know aren’t true on a universal level. Our taught math is completely based and adapted around smaller scale numbers and that’s why you don’t learn how infinity actually works cause for what you’ll use it will seem correct at your scale. But not on a larger universal all-included scale. At that level you need to basically be able to grasp the actual concept of infinity,… 🤷♂️ Try doing something more than your basic calculus.

Again, I did… If I could argue all this out of pure imagination, now that would be something…

Indeed, and infinite isn’t… It’s like comparing Newton and Einstein on a regular earth scale.

I kinda already did many, though. Do you honestly think I argue math from my own imagination? Not sure I can do that while remaining logical ánd finding exactly the same info online if I look it up, cause that would be kinda amazing.

Curious I found something that proofs my whole point exactlybto the letter though… I must ge exactly the same kind of wrong as that other person that actually drew ypu the circle with it as proof…
C’mon, now you’re just reaching.

Boundless and endless (and the fact it’s larger than any number doesn’t mean it’s ever-growing. It already is.

You say it yourself. If you jeep adding infinite zeros you will never get 1, hence the ‘divided by 0’ part.
Also, 0 is technically not a number either, it’s the concept of the absence of one. You can’t count 0 things. That doesn’t mean we don’t use it, thogh. It’s just less hard to imagine and closer to our basic calculations than infinity is.

So you believe the universe just ends somewhere with nothing behind it?

Google is your friend. I’m gonna leave this here and stop arguing about infinity to people that obviously have no understanding of it.

But it is a value. Just one we tend to avoid by claiming it doesn’t exist or is impossible… Our minds just have a hard time imagining it, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

I’d only break argumentative math, not actual calculatable math…
Unlike many always say, math has too many agreements and ‘definitions’ and things we added to be universal. On a universal level infinite solves the +/- by the fact it’s infinite…

One could argue that negative and possitive infinity, unlike natural numbers, boils down to the same thing, though. Just like 0, infinity technically has no + ir -.

Anything /0 is considered impossible as an agreement. There’s no actual math involved in that answer. In reality you can divide by 0, but the answer has no natural number.
How many times can you add 0 before you get 1? The answer actually is the drunk(😅) 8 or ‘infinite’, but our minds can’t grasp the very existence of infinite, so we just went with ‘impossible’.
There are ways to circumvent that added concept of some calculators when dividing by 0 anyway and it will show you “Infinite” if it is able to. I remember you could do this in C+ even, but not 100% sure anymore how. I think it was with dividing by an ever decreasing number-variable. When it reaches 0 just before the calculation, C+ didn’t default to an error, but just said ‘Infinite’. But like I said, not 100% sure anymore if that was the actual way.
