Properties of numbers change at infinity. It is not conceivable to me, we can use normal arithmetic operations on quantities tending to infinity. For example, consider this...
9999999999........... infinity
-9999999999........... infinity
-------------------------
00000000000............ infinity
-------------------------
Now, subtracting infinite numbers from infinite numbers should give a infinite result. All we have is infinite zeros here, which cannot be inifinity.

- kazagistar 13y agoYou cannot understand "infinite numbers" without understanding how equality is defined (bijection).
- abc_lisper 13y agoOk.. My post was a bait :).. Please tell me more or can you suggest me some books i can read?
