Question

Can it possible to visualise infinity?

Open in App
Solution

In order to visualise infinity, let us go step by step:
Divide any number say 250 by 50 = 5
Reduce the divisor to 1025010=25
Reduce divisor to 52505=50
Reduce divisor to 12501=250
Reduce divisor to 122500.5500
Reduce divisor to 110250(110)2500
Reduce dvisior to 11000250000
Reduce to 11000000000250000000000
So as you keep reducing divisor you keep getting larger and larger number. Keep reducing divisor to as close to ZERO as possible, you will get VERY LARGE NUMBER. So, finally when you reach ZERO, you expect the result to be so large which you simply describe it as INFINITY.
As someone put it, INFINITY is larger than the largest number you can ever imagine !!!
It is not defined but conceptually understood !!
