Infinity and our Existence

[aperson]

This thread took a turn for the asinine when everyone started asking whether the universe was infinite in size. I've got a more interesting place for you to look,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_halting_problem

The halting problem entirely breaks down our struggle with infinity, and it's been demonstrated to be unsolvable.

Adamaj kind of blindsided this thread with a bunch of silly discussions about the size of the universe as we know it, but asking about whether the universe is infinite or finite is completely irrelevant to a much more interesting infinity that's lurking right in front of us.

As sentient beings that have the ability to create meaning, we have infinity lurking in front of us inside even trivially small spaces. Even though the base, the universe we live in, might be finite, there are infinite construals of it which provide maps of meaning onto how we see the world. We'll never see the base as it truly is, but instead we'll interpret it through a spring of mappings from the base which we impute.
