TO INFINITY AND BEYOND

Aishvarya Venkatasubramaniam

To everyone who believes that infinity is just a limit, hug yourself now. Because, infinity is countable. Would you believe that? Let me the clear the air first. You must believe because, in the phrase “ To infinity And Beyond”, if there is something really beyond infinity, then infinity is not at all a limit. On the other hand, it is so depressing when we come to know that we learned math theories and formulae with infinity being uncountable, and the fact that it goes on and on. With this perspective, we had solved sums and memorized proofs and theorems in our school days. But logically, how could infinity become a limit? Like, we really can find the answer if we have patience to solve anything. Basically everything.

I don’t intend to tell anything that is exaggerating the circumstances here and there is no hype. And adding to it, as I said, if there is something beyond infinity, then infinity is surely not a limit. Now this is a burning question. We have been tuned to accept so. Mathematically, infinity is reachable, the only thing is, we have to keep solving more and more steps to reach the point infinity. And we know, it is tedious to do, the process is so hard, hence we standardize infinity to be an infinity which really is not so. Wait. Have we ever reached infinity? Then how and why do we judge and make assumptions?

Apart maths, this applies to our lives as well. Because, it might feel nothing is impossible at times, and that’s a general psychology. The truth is nothing seems impossible until we complete it which means anything is possible in this universe if we have the fire within to finish and accomplish it. In fact, I would say infinity is a zero. What if

infinity is not an end but only a start that would lead us to another point? By that, we would come up with a lot more theories which would beautifully stumble the universe. Dimensionally, it is like cutting and analyzing the faces of a cube. Imagine infinity as parts and not as a whole. As we segregate them into parts, we tend to join them whereas when we consider it to be a whole, we assume that something already is done, something already is in its position, so we might think that there is no need to alter and modify it.

“Perspective” is important and it triggers deep thinking and ultimately, creativity is the output. Now imagine, in fact, the symbol of infinity itself says that, it is a zero when we cut them into pieces (imagine its symbol) implying to tell us that its only a zero and there is a great and long way to go beyond. So prove them wrong. Prove that all the infinite theories are infinitely wrong. Show them that real infinity is beyond the existing so called infinity. Let it pave ways for new theories to come.
