2023年9月25日 · Actual infinity allows also for cardinal and ordinal arithmetic to be done. Potential infinity limits discussions of infinity to processes that go beyond any finite number of steps, or values that can be found beyond any finite bound, without ever …
Why are actual infinities logically impossible? : r/DebateReligion
Basically the difference is an actual infinity can be treated like a number but a potential infinity is simply a continuum. Hilberts hotel shows how wacky infinity is if we treat it like a number. The fact that Craig pulls this same argument out in debate after debate even though he knows nobody considers the universe to be an actual infinity ...
Potential versus actual infinity : r/math - Reddit
It seems like it's an unending tug-of-war, where mathematicians want to add more actual infinity to do their work easily (e.g. Grothendieck) that could previously been done using only potential infinity, but adding more actual infinity just resulting in pushing back the potential infinity further and not removing them.
Actual infinity vs Potential infinity - Analysis and Calculus - Science ...
2014年2月22日 · Well, potential infinity and actual infinity go along with their descriptors with the fact that something has the potential to be infinite while the other is actually infinity. For example, there is a difference between a set that has the potential to …

2022年7月14日 · It would, but I think both are related. What is time if not the measure of change? What is change if not the transition from the potential to the actual, and therefore an infinite temporal regress would seem to strongly indicate also an infinite causal regress(for there's a link of changes being actualized from an actual with a potential to a new actual from the potential).

2021年5月31日 · TLDR: Infinity isn't an intended mechanic of the game, and Interactions with "Infinity" as are somewhat buggy, but in theory it acts as actual infinity. Programming languages like JavaScript (the one this game is made in) work by having variables. Variables are a reserved space in memory to store a value.

2022年1月17日 · "Actual infinity" versus "potential infinity" was a distinction made by (for instance) Aristotle: see the intro section of the SEP article on Infinity. For there to be an actual infinity means that something of e.g. infinite extent is physically realized in the universe, whereas the mathematical conceptions of infinity are just that - conceptions.

Does infinity exist in nature? Or is it a "man-made" concept?
There's two sorts of infinity - an actual infinity and a potential infinity. A potential infinity is an infinity that has not been completely realized. Time is a potential infinite since we know it will always go forward, but all future times have not yet been realized. An actual infinity is an infinite set that contains all its members.

2021年10月8日 · It is true that, if they could produce an initial event in the infinite past (in math terms, a "point at infinity"), then they could indeed produce the contradiction. But there is no "point at infinity." Instead, there is just an infinite regress of points, each of which separates from the present by a finite interval.
