  1. No infinity is never ending, so even if you started counting the moment you were born to the moment u died, you would never EVER reach infinity


  2. In short, no.

    Infinity is not a number.

    In some ways, it's unfortunate that the noun form even exists.

    Let's look at the adjective form:  the numbers are infinite.

    Infinite:

    from Latin, in- "not" + finitus "defining, definite," from finis "end"

    Basically: not ending.

    Since there is no end, it cannot be reached, no matter how long you take.  There is always "1 more" (and 1 more after that, and ...)

    Kind of like ants in your kitchen.

    (except not really - they are finite - you could, with patience count them,

    as long as they didn't keep making new ones back

    in the nest and sending them in as reinforcements).

    .

  3. f(n) = n.

    I just did.

  4. Yes its possible if you can count for ever then it is very possible!

  5. No. Not possible.
