Infinity does have a numerical symbol. It looks like an 8 on it's side.
I have heard credible sources tell me that comparing reality and eternity on online forums with a khaki background might cause the universe to implode.
Not if you wore pink glassesQuote:

Somehow a post like this next to an image of Peter Griffin makes total sense.
hehe
In the past ten minutes, I gave this a lot of thought.
"Is reality the same as infinity?"
Answer: Yes
A ring is reality without a beginning and therefore no end.
Consider the reality of the hoola hoop, the ring on your finger, Johnny’s Ring of Fire.
Archimedes left in a ring in the tub when he suddenly leapt out during his eureka moment.
It is best expressed mathematically by 2∏r
Pi is infinite but so real it will blow your mind.

On the way to work, I was listening to Tex Ritter on disc 1, btw-discs 2 and 3 are Jimmy Hendrix and the Psychedelic Furs respectively.
When I heard Tex singing The Riddle I thought long and hard about reality versus infinity, particularly when he gets to the part about the ring.
"I gave my love a cherry that has no stone
I gave my love a chicken that has no bone
I gave my love ring that has no end
I gave my love a baby with no cryin
How can there be a cherry that has no stone?
How can there be a chicken that has no bone?
How can there be a ring that has no end?
How can there be a baby with no cryin?
A cherry when it’s bloomin it has no stone
A chicken when its peep’n it has no bone
A ring when it’s rollin it has no end
A baby when its sleep’n there’s no cryin"

Hi Delta any reasons why you should?:pQuote:

The idea that I could tell them it will take me an infinite amount of time and would they mind holding is sooooo appealing!Quote:

Can we please have a definition of the terms 'infinity', 'eternity' and 'reality'? I contend these are obscure terms.
The second law of thermodynamics tells us the entire universe will eventually break down to a mass of basic particles tending towards absolute zero. Is that eternity? Is that infinite? If time is the change from one instant to the next, will such a thing exist when there is no change? Could it even be described as reality?
Eternity is my Mom's favorite perfume. I go for more of the fruity and beachy scents myself.
Could that possibily be Fruictosity ? beachy can be quite lycheey actually. :pQuote:

Reality, eternity, very different things, not even in the same classed/categories.
Reality is what we are, what is around us, what we can discover about our environment (of which we are a part)>
Eternity is a concept of timelessness, forever. (and maybe only something longer than us, because we would never know).
The closest I can come to relating the two is to assume reality is infinite and therefore potentially eternal in our quest to learn about it.
