Recently a gentleman in an Online Forum Think Tank who was a spiritual type person told the group that we were all dummies because we could not understand infinity. Some in the group were taken a back, as they had no problem with the concept of infinity at all. He said he had become enlightened and that he understood infinity but that most all humans could not understand it and therefore had tiny finite minds and were stupid. In fact he went on to say that Einstein, Newton and many others were stupid too and had finite minds and were un-enlightened.
The self-proclaimed enlightened on said: This is the problem! They have been chasing their tails. A finite mind can't understand infinity.
Indeed, he makes an interesting discussion however I disagree entirely. Infinite is not so hard to comprehend although many wish to tell the masses they cannot understand it to get them to stop asking questions of the so-called Experts who really do not know what they are talking about for the most part. In fact I bet once humans are told how it all works that they will indeed be able to teach it to a child in the second grade, I am sure of it. For someone to say that a finite mind cannot understand something, they need to speak to themselves for the problematic issues arrive and stay with them, not I.
How about you, can you understand infinity? Do you believe the Cosmos are Infinite? Is it possible for you to describe it? Would you know it if you saw it? Have you ever thought about it? Think on this in 2006.
