View Full Version : Can there be infinity + 1? Captain_Crunch 11-17-02, 04:16 PM This has probally been asked so many times but ill ask it again = Is there infinity +1 ? :confused: SoLiDUS 11-17-02, 05:02 PM Infinity + 1 ? Think about it for a moment... Done ? Okay: seing as INFINITY is an unlimited quantity, you can't add a value it already possesses, seem'sayin' (read: see what I'm saying) ? James R 11-17-02, 07:25 PM (Should this question be in the Maths forum?) There is a field of mathematics which deals with <b>transfinite</b> numbers. Quantities such as infinity + 1 are actually well-defined in transfinite maths. However, a few things are a bit weird. For example: 1 + infinity = infinity but infinity + 1 is not the same as infinity (provided "infinity" is taken to be a particular transfinite number).
