Between a finite amount of x and in infinite amount of x, is there an infinite amount of x ?

Infinite amount of apples ?
Ok, too simple maybe. Replace apples with time.
Yeah, that's exactly what I`m thinking about.arunbg said:Echoing what Hallsofivy just said, there's no poo-poo time after infinite time
If you attribute no physical reality to time, I think your statement is equivalent to asking whether you can have an interval of finite numbers on an infinite number line. The answer is obviously yes.Nick666 said:So, after all, if I assume infinite time exists, is it nonsense in a mathematical way, to say that something infinite in time created at some point something finite in time, right?
Subtracting a finite quantity from an infinite quantity means to take away a specific number or amount from a value that has no limit or is endless. This can also be thought of as finding the difference between two quantities, where one is infinitely larger than the other.
One example of subtracting a finite quantity from an infinite quantity is the concept of subtracting infinity from infinity. For instance, if we have the equation ∞ - 3, we can interpret this as an infinite quantity minus a finite quantity of 3, resulting in an infinite quantity as the answer.
In most cases, the result will be infinite when subtracting a finite quantity from an infinite quantity. However, there are some scenarios where the result may be a finite number. For example, if we have the equation ∞ - ∞, the result would be undefined rather than infinite.
Subtracting a finite quantity from an infinite quantity is closely related to the concept of limits in mathematics. When we take the limit of a function as the input approaches infinity, we are essentially subtracting an infinite quantity from another infinite quantity to get a finite result.
Yes, subtracting a finite quantity from an infinite quantity can be used in practical applications such as calculus, physics, and engineering. For example, when calculating the velocity of an object as it approaches infinity, we are essentially subtracting a finite quantity (the object's initial velocity) from an infinite quantity (the velocity at infinity) to determine the object's final velocity.
