@mathgeek11 I really love this comment, even though it's ancient...lol

My point is that, while I agree with what you've said about infinity (and thank you), I don't think that this definition is complete. Infinity cannot be just a property of sets or of numbers or whatever, but the consequence of a generating rule. It says that a set defined by at least one generating rule is an infinite set. Long story short: This puts mathematical induction on the par with reasoning by induction, doesn't it?

But "property" is a noun, and we understand and use it as such. Objects have properties, which, among other things, are adjectives which describe them. When we speak of redness, we can understand the property as that which applies to all objects that are red, yet we can subtract (or abstract) the objects until we have "redness". "Infinity", if it is a property, could be made into a noun and, as any noun, it has properties too.

infinity in ways is just an idea any number that can be added subtracted and well ANY KINDA NUMBER so if any number is infinity than 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 etc are all numbers of infinity
i feel like you are saying infinity is actually very limited in your opinion !?

@bobbutnot I present no opinion in this video. I am telling you what it is. Infinity is a singular concept and is not limited except by its conceptual confines.

Aren't parts of the universe that are far enough away receding from us faster than the speed of light due to the expansion of the universe itself?

@ananiasacts : Yes that is correct. Though I did not know that at the time I made this video. If I said otherwise, it was a mistake out of ignorance.
