Infinity + Infinity = ?

I say more infinity but Blackberry says otherwise.

It would be 2 infinity.

Re: Infinity + Infinity = ?

Infinity + Infinity = John Mora

Re: Infinity + Infinity = ?

Infinity + Infinity = John Mora

Hey. I like this. Life is easy now.

****. Now Blackberry has her math books out and is looking through infinity theorems.

Re: Infinity + Infinity = ?

Infinity plus infinity equals infinity. In fact, infinity plus anything except negative infinity equals infinity.

One of the few things I still remember from Calculus.

Infinity plus infinity equals infinity.

Blackberry says that you can't add more infinity to itself. It just ends of breaking things, like human concept and computers.

Re: Infinity + Infinity = ?

Well that's not what math says. The only thing that just doesn't work mathematically is dividing by zero because it contradicts the whole concept of division.

Take the following rules:

Infinity divided by a finite number is infinite (I / f = I);
Any finite number divided by infinity is a number infinitesimally larger than, but never equal to, zero (f / I = 1 / I);
Infinity divided by infinity is one (I / I = 1),
or in fact any other positive number (I / I = and so on...);
Infinity multiplied by zero (no infinity) is zero (I * 0 = 0);
Infinity divided by a positive finite number is infinity (I / +f = I);
Infinity divided by a negative finite number is minus infinity (I / -f = -I);
Infinity divided by zero is not possible;
Infinity plus infinity is infinity (I + I = I);
Zero divided by infinity (nothing divided into infinity) equals zero (0 / I = 0);
Infinity plus a finite number is infinity (I + f = I);
Infinity minus a finite number is infinity (I - f = I); but
Infinity minus infinity, due to the nature of infinity, can be zero, infinity, or minus infinity (I - I = -I, 0, I).

Math sucks. Now she says that infinity divided by infinity does not necessarily equal one. Everyone of my math teachers has said that anything divided by itself is one. What a crock. And what about infinity to the power of zero?

Re: Infinity + Infinity = ?

Since infinity isn't a number it doesn't follow the rules of numbers. Infinity divided itself equals any positive number.

All I know is .999=1. Or whatever equation everyone's arguing about these days.

Since infinity isn't a number it doesn't follow the rules of numbers. Infinity divided itself equals any positive number.

No it doesn't, because at that point infinity is given a numerically value and ceases to be infinity at all. Infinity has one value, and that value is infinity. Nothing else can equal infinity, and therefore infinity plus infinity is some other measure entirely and would probably crush the human skull to be contemplated. Therefore, I leave it at that.

All I know is .999=1. Or whatever equation everyone's arguing about these days.

I'll never believe that one, and I've seen the proof.
