So you believe the universe just ends somewhere with nothing behind it?
What's that got to do with anything? Infinity is just shorthand for "ever-increasing number".
Uhm... No it's not... 🤨
First sentence from Wikipedia: "Infinity is something which is boundless, endless, or larger than any natural number."
In other terms give me a natural number n, I'll show you a larger number, n+1, and I'll do it again and again. That's the definition of infinity. There's always a bigger number.
Boundless and endless (and the fact it's larger than any number) doesn't mean it's ever-growing. It already is.
Right! hence why you can only approach it with the limit notation, never operate on it directly. Please, take a calculus class. You might even learn this on day 1
Again, I did... If I could argue all this out of pure imagination, now that would be something...
