Are you fact checking this thread? And Toy Story?How can you go beyond something which cannot be reached![]()
The set of integers is infinite but countable. The set of rational numbers is infinite but uncountable. In fact there are infinite rational numbers between 0 and 1. So one could describe rational numbers as being beyond infinity.How can you go beyond something which cannot be reached![]()

Found it!You are right, in that there is potential for infinity... but it doesn't really exist. It's a representation, a human construct. It can never be achieved.
Now, how fine is that pin head?
What? Do we have a future Nobel winner in our presence? No leading physicist is ready to say categorically that the universe is not infinite.You are right, in that there is potential for infinity... but it doesn't really exist.

Now, how many cycling security devices can dance on the head of a pin?
My shed is limitless offering infinite possibilities - although most of those possibilities involve a few bikes and some power tools that I 'needed' at the time of purchase but somehow are gathering dust,.What?

Few of them believe that @Markymark's shed is, though.

Never mind that. Do the management of Hilbert's Hotel let you take your bike into one of its infinite number of rooms?The set of integers is infinite but countable.
