Are there an infinite number of dimensions higher than the 4d spacetime that defines our universe outside of our universe? — an-salad
Given the conditions under which the conception of infinity is thought by us, the question is irrational with respect to our universe — Mww
What say you? — TheMadFool
What say I? Nothing more than.......
........to keep adding implies infinity hasn't been “gotten”, and infinity “gotten” implies there is no adding, “gotten” tacitly understood to indicate “arrived at”;
.......the pure a priori concept of quantity is far the more a beginning, than the schemata subsumed under it;
......the notion of “other-worldly” is impossible to derive from the predicates contained by the concepts given in “our universe” and “thought by us”, which the emphasis in the originals should have illustrated.
Rhetorically speaking, of course. — Mww
how do you know this, our, universe isn't (...) infinite? — TheMadFool
It is impossible to know, which makes it irrational to ask how I know. — Mww
I'd just like to run something by you for your views: What's the difference between an actual infinity and a potential infinity? — TheMadFool
How then the notion of an actual infinity, completed as it must be? — TheMadFool
my personal view is that 1) infinity is, by definition, endless 2) something endless can't be completed, obviously.
How then the notion of an actual infinity, completed as it must be? — TheMadFool
Cantor linked the Absolute Infinite with God,[1] and believed that it had various mathematical properties, including the reflection principle: every property of the Absolute Infinite is also held by some smaller object.[2] — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_Infinite
So...we haven’t experienced infinity — Mww
for any conception its negation is given immediately — Mww
Also, it seems you didn't quite understand my take on the issue. — TheMadFool
I meant to say that (....) the idea of an actual infinity is...well...something doesn't add up. — TheMadFool
It appears that, paradoxical and self-contradictory as it sounds, the mother of all infinity, the be all and the end all of infinity, the infinity of infinities, is the humble zero! — TheMadFool
