Surely we have to be able to understand it if we can define what it is?

where is the beginning, and where is the end? i say, there is no beginning and there is no end. and that is the meaning of infinity.

i would say yes. because i am aware of "infinity".
but am i human in the common sense?
i look like a human and i talk like a human. but my views is not human.
to me, infinity is the absense of time it self. and the feeling of eternity.

Dude, are you me? Man... you are beginning to seem just like me.
Anyway, I agree with darkspace, I believe that infinity lacks time, and the only way to "view" it in our mind, or even think about it correctly, we would have to either be 4 dimensional beings, or fully comprehend time in this universe. Then only then, would we understand what it would be like without it.

Are you saying we can or cant understand infinity? I agree that it lacks time...for a few reasons. Infinite anything has no end or beginning...therefore even if time somehow was present in between no end and no beginning (which there would be no middle or in between) it would be meaningless. That is why I am sure we live in a finite universe. All laws of physics are based on finite pricnciples for the most part. When Infinity is figured in, strange things happen. According to Albert Einstien, if you accelerated an object at the speed of light. It would have infinite mass, and time would stop.
