Well, will it? My instincts say no, it won't. But I don't know why it wouldn't. Can anyone point me to (or tell me) the right answer?
I have always thought of inifinty as nothing more than a theoretical, mathematical construct with no real counterpart or application in reality. Other then the arguable possibility of the universe being infinite, I can't think of anything that is infinite.
How could the universe be infinite? Any fraction of infinity is infinity, so any fraction in an infinitely big universe would also be infinity although it is clearly not.
I guess that there has to be a infinitly small also. If there is a infinitly big then we are infinintly small in comparison right? How can something be infinitly small lol, but perhaps we are at some average infinity between infinitly small and infinitly big.
Gravity has an infinite range. But if two bodies are separated by an infinite distance, there is no possibility of them interacting. The further apart two bodies are, the greater the potential except for the inverse-square relation. So at greater distances than the radius of say, the larger mass, it's asymptotic. It is at the other end too, when you get closer, as if space has an inverse-square curvature in it, but the interaction geometry changes inside the radius (below the surface). At much larger distances it takes longer for gravitational potential (force) to accelerate a body towards it; at infinity the force is zero and the remote body is beyond any future light cone.
