Hello again CRN-
I still insist that infinity has no limit, and that no infinity is any bigger/smaller than any other. We can only attempt to define it within the limits of our senses.
We humans can only conceptualize that which is well beyond our grasp: infinite primes, infinite irrational numbers, infinite regress, etc, etc, to infinity. Though we have invented maths, such as calculus, to approximate values that can help us make some sense of it, infinity is too big/small for us to truly get our heads around.
The same goes for eternity, since we really can't think outside of our sense of time.
Pondering these things can drive one to distraction. Remember that time when you looked up into the night sky and wondered, 'where does it end?" Only to come to that very unsettling thought that it doesn't.
Relative to everything else, you are at the center of the universe. But don't get too big a head about it, because everybody else is, too.
Best to just enjoy the beauty, and mystery, of it all, I think.
