Infinity is a concept that represents something being endless or limitless—whether it is a sequence of numbers that goes on forever or the expansion of the universe itself. In mathematics, we encounter infinity through topics such as sequences and series explaining how we can approach infinite sums and limits. This concept helps develop wonder and curiosity across various fields.
I first encountered the idea of infinity in middle or high school during a math lesson that explored never-ending numbers, such as π, and the fascinating concept of the infinite. I was both intrigued and interested; something being so vast and limitless was exciting yet complex to grasp. This early experience opened my imagination and led me to wonder what is beyond that which we can quantify. To represent infinity, I chose a spiral staircase. A spiral staircase symbolizes the concept of infinity because an infinite circular staircase is ongoing and limitless like the concept of infinity. Infinity cannot be specifically quantified. Infinity also represents the boundless potential of exploration and discovery.
Infinity is also an important concept in my religion, because it symbolizes the boundless nature of creation and the mysteries beyond human perception. God existed before anything else and created everything from nothing, relates to infinity. Similarly, the universe continuously expands, illustrates the vastness of the universe. In both mathematics and spirituality, infinity signifies something beyond human comprehension, expressing awe and humility. It serves as a reminder of how much remains unknown, inspiring wonder about the mysteries that are beyond and encouraging us to explore the infinite and to feel inspired by it.
