now first of all .. i am not being stubborn, and im not trying to be annoying, im simply trying to understand the problem with infinity.
Is there any way to conceptualize the problem visually? with an example? I learn a lot easier that way. As far as I can see it, if something has no beginning, it has existed forever. If something exists forever, it must have therefore existed for an infinite time before it commited its very first action (whether that is the big bang, or a reflection of light). And as so, it could NEVER reach that point in time where it committed its first action, unless there was only ever 1 action.
Why is that mathematically wrong to think that? At what point in that understanding do i start relating infinity to real numbers?
