Every number is closer to zero than to infinity. amirite?

I'm closer to owning zero cars than owning an Infiniti.

Considering infinity is a concept and not a number, this goes without saying.

Every number is closer to zero than apple

And we all know there's nothing conceptual regarding the idea of nothingness or the absence of a quantity.

So is zero

by Anonymous 6 months ago

Infinitely closer to zero than infinity

by Anonymous 6 months ago

That's because infinity is a concept/idea and not a number.

What about a billion squared?

by BeginningAd7882 6 months ago

A billion squared is the only exception as it is greater than infinity.

That doesn't sound right but I don't know enough about numbers to dispute it

Is pretty small compared to stuff like grams number or TREE of 3.

It depends on how you want to define it. Since infinity isn't a number, let's represent it with an endless line of ducklings. If you added an extra quintillion ducklings to the front of the line, it would still be the same length. But, if you added a single extra duckling with the condition that it had to be at the end of the line, it actually would change the length of the line.

I mean yeah. If you ask how many numbers are between 1 and 2 (1.1, 1.11, etc.) there's infinite. If you ask how many numbers are between 1 and 3 it's still infinite, but also more.

by boscobrenden 6 months ago

Number + infinity is not a valid operation. You can only sum numbers with numbers. There is no value to the infinity.

A lot of concepts can be represented by apples. They're still just concepts.

Still infinity. Which isn't a number.

That's still infinitely far from 2finity but only 1 away from infinity.

by Anonymous 6 months ago

No. Remember: there are multiple kinds of infinity. Counting backwards to zero will be just as fruitless as counting up from zero. You can go infinitely in either direction. This doesn't even take into account negative numbers.

by Anonymous 6 months ago

Can you really count backwards? What's the previous number to infinite?

by Antique-Scientist 6 months ago

It doesn't matter. Any number is just as far from infinity as the preceding number.

Infinity-1

by Capable-Yogurt 6 months ago

All the numbers between 1 and 2 (ie 1.001, 1.0001, 1.0000001) which are infinite, are closer to zero than 3.

1.6

by PlateAggressive7727 6 months ago

Boom. Mathematized.

by Anonymous 6 months ago

...Any of those numbers higher than 1.5 would be closer to 3 than 0. There are infinite numbers between 1 and 1.5, so there are infinite numbers closer to 0, but there are also infinite numbers between 1 and 2 that are closer to 3.

by ogleichner 6 months ago

Infinity isn't a number. Think of it as more like a filter or concept. 2 is closer to 3.333(so on) than it is to 0. 3.333(so on) is infinite. It goes on for infinity.

by Ondrickabraxton 6 months ago

Because infinity is a symbol to represent some to keep on doing something or going forever but infinity is mainly used in math, not coding because they have if (something) then (do something)

Infinity minus one is one closer to zero than it is to infinity

Depends how you write them. If you allow p-adic numbers then you can get fun results. Veritasium has a great video about them. But the idea is that you can have numbers with infinitely many non-zero digits that are the same as classical numbers. For reciprocals of whole numbers, this is really easy. You just have to find the number such that, when it gets multiplied by your whole number, the result is 1 with infinitely many zeros in front of it. For example, this is the last 100 digits of 1/7 in base 10, though it goes on forever: 7142857142857142857142857142857142857142857142857142857142857142857142857142857142857142857142857143 So, does that mean that 1/7 is infinitely big?

Heck every number is closer to its inverse than it is to infinity (and negative infinity for negative numbers)

there's an infinite amount of numbers between 0 and 1, I think you're always closer to infinity

by Anonymous 6 months ago

Infinity isn't a number, it's a concept.... so, it's not even possible for it to be close to anything.

by Anonymous 6 months ago

What if you divide infinity by 0

by Anonymous 6 months ago

I think thats not true. Because 0 is nothing, and existence is as far from nothing as possible. For example, it would be like saying youd have an easier time digging half a hole rather than digging 10000000 holes. There is no such thing as a half hole, wither you dug a hole or you didn't.

by Designer-Marketing 6 months ago

Depends on which infinity you are referring to. There is an infinite quantity of numbers between 2.0000 and 3.0000, and so 3 is closer to that infinity than zero.

Every number is closer to every other number than it is to infinity. Infinity is a concept.

infinity is closer to zero than infinity+1. infinity is a concept, not an exact number.

I don't think inifinity exists. All infinities are just loops, whether a circle or sphere.

That's not true if you count the negatives. Then every number is always the middle.
