Is Infinity Real?

Infinity is really big. It's infinite. But what does it mean when an infinity is proved to be bigger than another? How can something infinite be bigger than something else that is also infinite? This video attempts to explore a fairly introductory, laymen understanding of mathematic infinity, and how trying to wrap our brains around endlessness can be just as endless.

That manager must have infinite complaints
-
The editing is getting better and better.
-
I once told a joke about infinity never heard the end of it
-
When he said: generally we all know what infinity means My mind went blank for a moment
-
“We are stuck in the dark of space with our numbers and no one but ourselves to translate” Couldn’t be more true
-
This is one of the best channels on YT hands down.
-
Imagine having to walk the stairs in an infinite hotel
-
bus: *pulls up in front of the hotel everyone: ight imma head out
-
Once again reminded why I am extremely fond of this channel. You just made something I already found fascinating in my calculus class 10x more interesting, and left me wanting for more.
-
Despite being able to accomodate infinite people, the manager is still not enough for Karen
-
As a wise man once said: "Brain hurty"

When I was a kid, about 13 and younger I had dreams about the concept of infinity that mesmerized and horrified me. I’m not even sure what the content of the dreams were but I would wake up with the concept on my mind and just stuck with a feeling of something unknowable and unending hanging over me.
-
This made me hungry, tired and anxious all at the same time
-
I just watched 12 minutes of something infinitely incomprehensible
-
If forever exist then there are no starting points and nothing ever begins.
-
Just do LSD if you want to experience infinity
-
" There are infinite number of possible scenarios in which we understand infinity "

I think infinity is a nature. A force that everything follows under, because everything is infinite. I don't believe you can simply, or complexly, explain it at all. There are limitations to vocal communication, yet no limitations to experiences. I haven't experienced infinity yet, and don't truly know if you can while still physically being. Yet I have a feeling that's indescribable to what it might be.

As this is not a math channel, I came into this video thinking it wouldn't be an actual mathematical handling of the topic, at least not accurarely. I was wrong. You did an excellent job. Sounds like you stumbled upon the continuum hypothesis in your research (9:10)?

Take a shot every time he says infinity
