Irrelevant: you asserted that calculus does not involve the mathematical concept of infinity, so prove it. If calculus doesn't use infinity, then you should be able to show the differential of x[sup]2[/sup] with respect to x is 2x. So do it. Prove to us, one and for all, that you're right.
No, I would argue that what real infinity and eternity are, is not contained in your math constructions. It may use theoretical infinity concepts, but when I think of eternity and infinity, the concepts reach higher than man's calculations. Man is in a finite world and universe and state. Therefore, however we mentally project things needs to be in perspective.
I mean if God and the departed believers and angels lived heaven, and we had space between there and here, we could say heaven was
up. Even if spacial coordinates we know and think of in a 3D perspective did not apply
in heaven, from our standpoint it would still be up. But one, then, could not draw a line straight out to infinity and beyond! So our concepts then are well and good within strict limits. If you jigger up something that flips stuff in a little lab, and want to call that 'infinite'..go ahead!! Not a lot of meaning, really. When we consider that the space and time and planet and universe that the little lab sits in is temporal, nothing that goes on there in reality is all that 'infinite' or eternal.
We don't need to wait for eternity, that's the whole point.
You can't. That is more to the point.
Yes, it is. It actually, genuinely, physically does have an infinitely high temperature. And of course it's a name: it's the English word used for the phenomenon we're discussing. If you disagree that the temperature is infinity, then prove it.
Infinity is a name, yes, as is eternity. Neither of which can be comprehended fully within a fishbowl of a temporal state. But, hey, if it makes you feel like a god or something, have fun playing with that.
Indeed, and certain experiments reveal quantities that are genuinely, physically infinite.
In a sense of the word, perhaps. But not a real sense as I think of eternal or infinite.
Prove it. Prove that the quantum thermodynamic system I described is "unrelated to actual infinity".
I do love how you can't get away from my successful demonstration of a real and genuine infinity without say, "Oh, but but but that's just words, you're just saying words!".
Best.
Excuse.
Ever.
Thanks. Having reasons (excuses as you call it) for why the pure form of eternal and infinite don't apply within a non infinite and non eternal sphere is easy. But I guess you could imagine that if something in a temporal lab on a temporal planet, in a temporal state set of forces and laws, in a temporal universe was truly able to do anything it now does infinitely or forever if you like. Seems vain and pretentious to me though.
