The problem we have with infinity is that we are thinking of it as a number. It isn't. It is the lack of a number. It is the idea that there is no number which is the last. So we can't do math with it.
On the other end is zero, which is a number, but mathematical operations are about quantities, and zero is not a quantity. By the way, what numbers squared produce numbers smaller than themselves?

If it takes two of you to make a complete idiot, then you must be a half wit.

Any fraction less than 1, when squared gives a number smaller than itself. The square of 1/2 is 1/4, etc.

i thing your'e all wrong, infinity is a concept, not a number, and it IS light blue, ok?

aye caramba...infinity is simply a limit...a mathematical concept that allows those silly-looking formulas to make themselves useful and do things like pay the rent, wash the dishes, and mow the grass. Remember, a useful mathematical concept is a happy mathematical concept...

yes, but it's sort of a dark navy blue, perhaps with a hint of magenta thrown in for funsies...

OK a joke . "Blind man walks into a supermarket with his guide dog. Walks down the first aisle, picks up his dog and starts waving it around his head. The supermarket manager comes up and asks him what he's doing - "Just having a look round " says the blind man.
Well it made me laugh.

Pink Posted Jun 13, 1999
hehe that's a good one.
As for the colour of infinity ... I always thought it was transparent with a hint of blue.
One-liner you may wish to regurgitate.
Nick Posted Jun 16, 1999
is this conversation finite with a pinch of salt
One-liner you may wish to regurgitate.
Nick Posted Jun 17, 1999
and one other thing, indefinite is slightly larger and a hell of a lot harder to work out than infinite, possibly
