To Infinity And Beyond
Aishvarya Venkatasubramaniam
To everyone who believes that infinity is just a limit, hug
yourself now. Because, infinity is countable. Would you
believe that? Let me the clear the air first. You must
believe because, in the phrase “ To infinity And Beyond”, if
there is something really beyond infinity, then infinity is not
at all a limit. On the other hand, it is so depressing when
we come to know that we learned math theories and
formulae with infinity being uncountable, and the fact that
it goes on and on. With this perspective, we had solved
sums and memorized proofs and theorems in our school
days. But logically, how could infinity become a limit? Like,
we really can find the answer if we have patience to solve
anything. Basically everything.
I don’t intend to tell anything that is exaggerating the
circumstances here and there is no hype. And adding to it,
as I said, if there is something beyond infinity, then infinity
is surely not a limit. Now this is a burning question. We
have been tuned to accept so. Mathematically, infinity is
reachable, the only thing is, we have to keep solving more
and more steps to reach the point infinity. And we know, it
is tedious to do, the process is so hard, hence we
standardize infinity to be an infinity which really is not so.
Wait. Have we ever reached infinity? Then how and why
do we judge and make assumptions?
Apart maths, this applies to our lives as well. Because, it
might feel nothing is impossible at times, and that’s a
general psychology. The truth is nothing seems impossible
until we complete it which means anything is possible in
this universe if we have the fire within to finish and
accomplish it. In fact, I would say infinity is a zero. What if
infinity is not an end but only a start that would lead us to
another point? By that, we would come up with a lot more
theories which would beautifully stumble the universe.
Dimensionally, it is like cutting and analyzing the faces of
a cube. Imagine infinity as parts and not as a whole. As
we segregate them into parts, we tend to join them
whereas when we consider it to be a whole, we assume
that something already is done, something already is in its
position, so we might think that there is no need to alter
and modify it.
“Perspective” is important and it triggers deep thinking and
ultimately, creativity is the output. Now imagine, in fact, the
symbol of infinity itself says that, it is a zero when we cut
them into pieces (imagine its symbol) implying to tell us
that its only a zero and there is a great and long way to go
beyond. So prove them wrong. Prove that all the infinite
theories are infinitely wrong. Show them that real infinity is
beyond the existing so called infinity. Let it pave ways for
new theories to come.

reaching the sky because we all are badly grounded on
earth.
