If we multiply Zero (0) with Infinity (∞), then we can't determine the result. This is one of the 7 indeterminate forms in mathematics. I think this can be expressed philosophically as "When an Immovable Object meets an Unstoppable Force, the result is Cannot be Determined."

Do you know how Big Infinity (∞) is? Divide the Entire Observable Universe into an equal Number of Planck's Cube Space. Now put a digit in each of those Planck's Cube Spaces. Use all of these individual spaces to get an Extremely Huge Number. That huge 'Number' will still NOT be Infinity. 🤯

nice take in 2 1/2 open acccess pages,

wrt #philosophers were well advised to not limiting the scope of their attention to #cardinal #numbers when referring to the #math #infinite. equally important [besides #ordering #structures and especially #ordinal #numbers] are e.g. #measures on #infinite #Booelan #lattices [#probability only a special case of these]

Even the Infinite is brief, because it is thought and lived by the finite that is in everything; therefore, let's follow this equation opened up here: that even the Infinite is what it is, or what it seems to us, because it is thought and lived by the finite. Elementary. Difficult.

Até mesmo o Infinito é breve, porque pensado e vivido pelo finito que há em tudo; portanto, que se siga esta equação aberta aqui: a de que sequer o Infinito é o que é, ou o que nos parece, porque pensado e vivido por finitos. Elementar. Difícil.
