Question

Weird question:

Answer 1

If both sides continue infinitely, is it possible for the right side to truly have more area?

Answer 2

mmm :D

Answer 3

That's what I was thinking! :O

Answer 4

It's weird right? You can see that it SHOULD, but mathematics appear to say that it doesn't. Infinity + x is infinity.

Answer 5

yes, right side is not defined though infinity.
You might want to ask that to Buzz

Answer 6

well ur correct lol
i wont compare two infinite numbers :P

Answer 7

Yeah but how can it not be infinity if it goes on forever?

Answer 8

regarding infinity...infinity is not a value!
If an ant in Japan heard of Atlanta, it might as well be in infinity. Same thing if someone tells it about Pluto....

Answer 9

Infinity is real in mathematics, because lines extend infinitely in both directions.

Answer 10

It may not be a value, but it is a term.

Answer 11

Maybe instead of more area, it has an undeterminate amount of area

Answer 12

"infinity + x is infinity" should be read as something enormous + something incredibly small is something enormous

Answer 13

but bigger, by a very very small fraction

Answer 14

Not enormous, endless. A line is endless, so if you take a line and add another line onto that line, is it longer?

Answer 15

infinity is not a numer/term/real
its approching of limits

Answer 16

look....endless is a concept

Answer 17

So lines aren't really endless?

Answer 18

^^^
I hate to talk about vectors in that case :P

Answer 19

lines are endless, lines do not exist in real life, line segments do

Answer 20

lolz

Answer 21

I'm not talking about real life though. I'm talking about two infinite pieces.

Answer 22

Numerically, can anything be larger than infinity if itself is infinity + x?

Answer 23

"two infinite pieces" means two pieces so big i don't have a number for it, but one might be bigger than the other

Answer 24

mmm @Syderitic ur wrong , a line can be exist in real life wanna example ?

Answer 25

Like:
\[\infty + 1 > \infty \]

Answer 26

How can that be possible? Does the left infinity expand faster or something, is it always 1 ahead?

Answer 27

@hero

Answer 28

In real life you have that problem in measuring distances, say, you have two eyes, therefor you can measure distances, but if you're on a galaxy level distance you might want to use Earth and some other point, like the moon to measure that distance.

Answer 29

@jcpd910 also we cant compare , couse small digits wont make difference in infinity world ^^

Answer 30

@jcpd910 i think you got what i'm saying....i'm calling this one answered.

Answer 31

No, you still are limited by real life, but we're not talking about real life. O.o

Answer 32

look at the spherical geometry, the line is defind to be a ring

Answer 33

even if we are talking about real life :D
lolzz

Answer 34

If we're talking in real life:

If I have infinite apples, and my friend has one more apple than I do, who has more apples?

Answer 35

I eat lots of apples so this totally applies.

Answer 36

i was saying endless as in infinite lenght....lol

Answer 37

brb

Answer 38

your friend has more apples, and i'm gone!

Answer 39

mmm nice topic to talk about :D
keep going guys u might end up with something

Answer 40

Answer 41

So both sides are equal, because math is a lie! :O lol this was a cool question. :D

Answer 42

When both sides go to infinity, ratio between 1 and the whole thing becomes 0.

Answer 43

In terms of the picture, if you continue to zoom out an infinite amount, the line appears to be straight.
