Science, Art & Spirituality: Exploring Infinity, Featuring Dr. Brian Greene

Infinity to me seems more comprehensible than a world without it. I cannot imagine the edge of the universe or the end of time. How can there be a second without a second to follow it? How can there be space without more space beyond it?

I grew up a Catholic. As a child (i dont so much anymore) i tried to comprehend the dying and going to heaven for eternity. No end. On and on and on and on.

Infinity could drive you mad

This might sound stupid, but this made me slightly teary. I went through a period of realization over the summer- and it gave me the strangest combination of vivid enlightenment and abject sadness.

I heard a mathematician use a brilliant analogy or example. So say you clap your hands together. You can describe that as a halving of distances over and over again, this description can have infinitely many iterations. However you hands do eventually meet. Now imagine the same scenario but you are describing you walking to a line, you eventually get to that line. Youve reached infinity. Now you can walk over that line. Youve gone beyond infinity and can evaluate it in a different context where being on the line and past it are not the same thing. So i think its just a product of how we describe things, and im not sure i believe things are infinite in the world which math describes, but they could be. If something truly appears infinite in our universe, maybe its not truly infinite but we cant see its finite nature, we cant preceive it to be anything other than infinite, because the rest of the problem is hidden from us. That may be hard to wrap your mind around, but ya.

[@kameronbriggs235]

To throw another idea in the mix, its like counting down to zero and then going into negative numbers in a sense, but imagine people who cant see or comprehend negative numbers. Sounds crazy right? Well that may be us and things beyond infinity.

[@JodBronson]

[@harveycotton5185]

i think the problem with the "going over the line of infinity" idea is that we cant go over the infinity line in the first place because it's infinite that's what infinity means "limitless or endless in space impossible to measure or calculate " so nothing is going to be stopping at any line and then crossing over it. i think the mathematician needs to give his head a shake 😀

The old axiom answers it. If something exists now then something has always existed. In other words the past is infinite because out of nothing only nothing can come. Think of not anything, nonexistence could never be the state of the past. So something or Someone has existed for all of eternity even though our universe is finite Something outside of it is self existent and eternal.

[@weldenjon]

For me it is easy to comprehend infinity because of two things that involve numbers: no matter how big a number that can be imagined there can always be 1 added to it and no matter how small a number there can always be a zero placed to the right of the decimal point. Therefore, numbers can both be infinitely large and infinitely small. This concept can be applied to many things. We can first apply it to anything that can be measured like space. Perhaps we will someday learn that space is indeed finite but it also exists in some kind of expanse that is infinite. This then gives the possibility that there could be an infinite number of space within the expanse yet the expanse will always be infinitely bigger because it will always have room for one more space. Infinity can also be applied to size. Infinity can go infinitely big and infinitely small. Using our universe as an example if one could increase their size infinitely our observable universe would appear smaller and smaller to the point the entire observable universe could fit in the palm of our hand, or the head of a pin, or even the size of an atom and yet that would only be a beginning of how small our universe could be viewed by infinitely larger things. Conversely, we could also shrink infinitely small so the the atom would be as expansive as our universe yet even then that would only be the beginning of how big the space of an atom would appear to an infinitely shrinking observer. Infinity can also be applied to time both past, present and future. There could be an infinity of time behind our present and an infinity of time ahead of our present. However, if time is truly connected to space and space is finite then time would also be finite yet like space it would be infinitely expressed as an infinite number of space/times in an ever greater infinite expanse. Time and space could also have an infinite number of parallel existences that happen for every moment in time meaning there is an infinite number of parallel universes coexisting with our own. There is also an infinite number of colors, and infinite number of sounds and an infinite number of ways to arrange them. Even our thoughts, our ideas, our imaginations and even what we can learn are probably all infinite in their expression and understanding. Finally, there could also be an infinite number of ways we can experience things or infinite number of things to experience. Truly, this is all mind boggling but if true it would mind awesoming to experience! All of this leads me to believe we must be infinite beings for if it were not so then how could infinity even be a thing to be considered and comprehended and perhaps looked forward to in the first place....

One of the problems is thinking about 'infinity' or 'infinite' as quantities. They are not. They are no more quantities than 'finite'. To describe something as finite is to imply that some aspect of a thing can be described numerically and the numeric description has unambiguous meaning in relation to the thing. Infinity implies that this cannot be done for some other thing in the same direct way. Even so, infinity can be examined mathematically and we can gain some understanding of it as a concept, not as a gauge or unit of measure. We can even understand mathematically that there are different kinds of infinity-- For example, the infinity of points on the number line is very different from the infinity of points in a volume of space. I think there are aspects of infinity that will never ever be understood, even if some parts of the concept become useful in some unimaginably complex ways.

Today, 2.13.20, I was reviewing the www.Faa.gov website and looking for a certain airplane flight manual the FAA has online. I came upon the "Navy" flight manual for Aviators that had a preamble dated 1959. It was old but the physics on aerodynamics of how a wing operates in current. One of the terms used by the engineers who wrote the manual was the term "infinite". They were not describing something extremely large. They were describing something extremely small. For example, any student pilot who knows anything about wing aerodynamics can tell an airplane's wing can fly very fast or very slow. But it can only fly so slow that if it flies any slower, the airstream flying over and under the wing will eventually "burble". It will separate from the laminer (smooth) flow and become disturbed like little whirlwinds over the top and bottom surfaces. This is known as the "burble point" or the "stall speed". My point is that when the wing is flying at its minimum airspeed it can only support a certain weight (load). Any slower and the airflow separates or "stalls". When a wing is flying straight and level it can only support a certain weight at its minimum airspeed, any slower and the wing will stall. But when the same wing is banked into a turn, it gives up some of its vertical lift component to the side in the form of "horizontal lift". That's what really turns a wing (an airplane). That's because gravity from the earth is weighing it down at the force of one gravity unit or "1 G". The opposing force to the horizontal lift turning force is called "centrifugal force" which has the apparent effect of adding a little extra weight to the wing when it is turning. That extra (weight) centrifugal force while banking and turning causes the wing's airflow come to a "burble point" slightly sooner. Thus the wing will stall at a slightly faster airspeed when it is turning compared to when it is flying slowly as possible compared to straight and level flight. This example assumes a constant altitude, a term the engineers call "equilibrium". What was interesting is that even back in the late 1950s, the engineers had a very good understanding of wing aerodynamics and the use of the term "infinite". It was stated in the Navy flight manual that the wing that is flying very slightly above the "stalling speed" had an "infinite" airspeed if it happened to go "any slower". In other words, the point where the wing stopped flying and no longer produced lift occured at a point that was deemed "infinite". The engineers used the term "infinite" back in the late fifties to mean "not finite". Thus if something couldn't be measured, whether it was going too fast or too slow, it was deemed "infinite". It is interesting that the term "finite" meant something that could be "fixed" or "measured". But the prefix "in" placed before the word "finite" means "not". So the word "infinite" meant "not" finite so far as the engineers were using the term back in the 1950s. This is very interesting, isn't it? Has the meaning of the word "infinite" changed since the late 1950s?

To her, it would seem a black hole would have an "infinite" point of finality because it too can not be measured. But then, take other scientists who discuss whether the Universe has an edge at some point where it is expanding and they will say either they don't know, or it is otherwise "infinite".

I'm always surprised how little traditional science knows about the idea of "infinity". It has become clear to me after 66 years here, daily meditation for 20 years, study of physics, cosmology, metaphysics, philosophy, and most religions, that we briefly live in virtual reality here. When I look at QM (tiny stuff), GR (big stuff), Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, all the double slit experiments, religious experiences, academic NDE and reincarnation research, the so called Big Bang, black holes, non-dual theories of consciousness, the Holographic Principle, ideas of entanglement, superposition, and non-locality, spiritual experiences of "omnipresence", infinite peace, and love, to name a few, it's clear to me, all that can be measured is finite. That's your temporary virtual reality. However, it's just as clear to me that the appearance of this space, time, matter VR comes and goes within a spaceless, timeless, matterless, non measurable underlying infinite "reality". The fact that traditional science still can't grasp this idea surprises me. It's not unlike Plato's Cave Allegory, or how we dream daily. The dream experience changes from the waking state (space, time, matter), to REM sleep (still the appearance of a separate self, an outer world, and some space, time, matter experience), then deep sleep (non-REM sleep) which has no appearance of space, time, matter, a separate self, or outer world. Deep sleep only has awareness, omnipresence, non locality, oneness, peace, rest, bliss. Traditional science only recognizes our limited waking state. The REM sleep state is still mostly a mystery to science and considered less real, and the non-REM sleeping state is considered completely unreal. Until science can consider the idea that it's the "deep sleep" state of consciousness that is most real, REM sleep less real, and the waking state the least real, they will remain stuck in Plato's Cave. And, the idea of "infinity" will remain a mystery. We are living here in a virtual reality (a sort of temporary "waking state"). Good news is, similar to how we return to infinite consciousness (deep sleep) every night, we also all return to infinite consciousness after our brief human experience here in the "cave". Cool.😊

Form an octagon with the reflective side to the inside. Place a dot on one of the mirrors and then look at the dot from the outside of the octagon. Finding just the right angle and a series of dots will appear on one of the mirrors, beginning with the first dot being larger than the rest. The series of dots will appear with each dot becoming smaller and smaller to the point that the dots are no longer visible, become Infinite.

A raindrop cannot comprehend a river valley. When does it officially become a body of water? When does infinity actually become infinity? We say that everything has a beginning, but what would the beginning of infinity look like at the beginning? Perhaps matter and material in the universe had a beginning, but I still maintain that the field of space is the only true infinite. The things contained in the area of space are eternal, and the complex makeup of our current state of the universe (still big banging) is the thing with age, not the manipulatable field of space. With that in mind, in concept with More is Less... ∞ = 1^∞

We can comprehend it conceptually. Can we wrap our heads around infinity, nope. "...a black hole in maths..." that's just great...

[@taunteratwill1787]

"Can we wrap our heads around infinity, nope." Talk for yourself please! I got it all worked out. :-))

[@joshuacole8284]

Taunter Atwill Lol you’re an idiot.

[@EternalFireArt]

Congrats, very well produced. Pure and concentrated knowledge.

[@NothingMaster]

As big a monster as infinity may be, it is even more abstractly problematic to imagine that the Universe may not be infinite (albeit, on whatever scale). Then again, it is also conceptually problematic to imagine that a physical universe/system is truly infinite. This is what I call enigma squared.

[@frankyjayhay]

Could it be down to a simple plain English contradiction: we're trying to imagine the existence of something that, by definition, doesn't exist? Zero is similar, we ask how many zeros go into something as if zero was a thing. Is the expression 'approach infinity' a contradiction in terms? A huge number is no closer to infinity than 1, if it were we could calculate where infinity would eventually be. Same with 'approaching zero', we can't get to zero by getting smaller or the last number would be the smallest possible.

[@knockoutrat4065]

9:57, "even mathematics has it's limits." So what? Let us pretend. Mathematics is based upon two "singularities." Zero and infinity.

[@BladeRunner-td8be]

Good stuff

[@jrviade85]

you can keep on counting to the left of zero infinitely.. 😎

[@otrondal]

Yes we can. The number line does not contain infinity, only the real numbers. Infinity is a description of the number line.

[@lisaschuster9187]

Yes, “love luv.” But consciousness leaves time, which is the EM spectrum itself as Einstein discovered, for in another, transcendent dimension. This isn’t wishful thinking, it’s something we’ve evolved just far enough to get the rare, unasked-for “glimpse” of, maybe once in life if we’re lucky.

[@starlord6088]

I just tried to think of infinite and ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... omg that is crazy. it goes on forever and ever and ever. I can't grasp it.

[@MountainFisher]

Think of it going into an infinite past then, because if something exists now then something or Someone has always existed. If there ever was nothing, or not anything there would still be nothing.

[@MountainFisher]

It has already gone on forever in the past.

[@starlord6088]

Mountain Fisher you said nothing and something has always existed. It’s one or the other

[@MountainFisher]

@@starlord6088 reread what I wrote, I said if in the past that there was nothing then there would still be nothing because out of nothing only nothing can come. Since there is something then there has been Something for all of eternity past.

Infinity? Of what? Time? Space? Mass? Gravity? Density? This word we use is the opposite to one. However nothing is infinite.

[@shhtha]

It's a simulation.. It only renders what we see

[@elck3]

Urbin Scout did it render your edgy thought too?

[@djpodesta]

Another way of asking the question..... Is the physical universe finite, yet space itself infinite?

[@venkatbabu186]

If you keep on spinning the maximum is 3 million miles a second. Time stops there but beyond unknown. Most elements disintegrate at that speed. Gravity itself does not exist. Actually the universe shrinks though space expand and more number of dark holes created. Each bubbles of dark holes have something stuck around.

[@rajendrak214]

🙏🙏🙏...!!! Then in that situation u can stop ur time n gravity .. But still the universe time n gravity remains same . U are just manipulating ur reality..

[@kevinhaynes9091]

Yes, I can comprehend infinity. If I look up into a clear night sky, and if the universe is infinite, or something akin to infinite, then what I am looking at is the infinite vista of space. I can see it with my own eyes and comprehend it with my sapien brain...

[@sirundrinks1197]

I think it is possible to imagine infinity up to a point where it needs another beginning. I think blackholes pop into existence wherever the paradox of non-existence requires a solution. If blackholes are actually 0 density 3 dimensional space which creates energy that solidifies into matter E=mc2 x Infinity. Which would be how Galaxy's are created. They create infinite time frequencies, I don't know for sure but that's how I explain why the universe isn't just a solid mass. From a 4th dimensional perspective it probably is or at least the Galaxy's would be solid spherical mass.

[@lange71krakapoi9]

that doesnt change the fact i have to get up at 4:30 to go to work.

Sometimes I wonder if an Immortal is meant for Space Exploration instead of just being locked in that “ruling over the World” / “Conquering the World” Trope.

[@iamBlackGambit]

No we cant comprehend infinity!!!!!🤦‍♂️ and if space had an edge or wall..what would be beyond that wall??...more space?????🤯

[@daphne4983]

More infinity

[@johnharris6676]

The universe has too have a end? Or does it? One day scientists will have the answers? Hopefully in my lifetime this question will be answered?

[@iamBlackGambit]

@@johnharris6676 your asking 4 questions? So the answer is we dont know...and will never know. God knows! 🤷‍♂️

[@johnharris6676]

iamblackgambit Yes that was four questions. There’s more questions than science has answers. I do believe in God. But we have to explore the universe, if not,we will never know the answer. There so many questions. I would love to ask astronomers there theory’s!

[@iamBlackGambit]

@@johnharris6676 I love the fact I have the same last name as yours!! Lol and my first name also starts with a j. I'm Joseph we both have bible names lol. But yes somethings we will never know because we are finite and limited!
