A Test for the Subjective and Objective Reality of Infinity

 What is infinity? The finite mind possesses the idea of the infinite but no means to determine what infinity could be. The finite mind cannot define infinity because the finite mind possesses only finite ideas and experiences that it can use in such an endeavor. Neither mathematics nor anything measured by mathematics can provide any idea of what infinity could be because no matter how much one adds to the finite, one can only obtain a finite result. Some try to reason that since the number one can always be added to the highest possible number then that process can reach infinity, but they fail to realize that that process only reveals the inability of the finite mind to ever understand infinity. If one adds the number one to the number of sub-atomic particles in the universe, that number would still be finite, and so with any enormous number. The finite mind can never reach to the idea of infinity because it simply becomes exhausted in the attempt. Any system formulated by a finite mind to reach to the idea of infinity using finite ideas can only be finite.

Yet, the finite mind possesses the idea of infinity. How is that possible? Only an infinite mind would be able to understand infinity. This fact suggests that the idea of the infinite could only have been given to the finite mind by an Infinite Mind. If the idea of the infinite is real, then an Infinite Mind must exist.

An Infinite Mind would be One that would have to encompass not only all subjective and objective reality, but all possible subjective and objective realities. Nothingness itself could not be a part of the Infinite Mind because that would limit it. The Infinite Mind could possess the idea of nothing because that would be something as an idea. The idea of nothing would be useful to the Infinite Mind as a subjective and objective reality. The usefulness of the idea of nothing would enable the Infinite Mind to create a finite reality since it would be limited by the idea of nothing. The finite mind cannot reach to the idea of the infinite because it becomes exhausted when it arrives at the idea of nothing. Thus, the Infinite Mind would have to encompass all reality and all possible realities.

Some may argue that the idea of the infinite happens to be but an illusion without actual existence. They use the idea of the unlimited as being the same as the idea of infinity, but the idea of the unlimited also becomes limited by the weakness and exhaustion of the finite mind. The finite mind simply cannot understand the idea of the infinite even though it has that idea.

A method may be possible to determine if the idea of the infinite possesses subjective and objective reality, or if it is but an illusion. Certain mathematical calculations result in the idea of the infinite. Could mathematicians devise a test, perhaps by using a computer, to determine if these calculations yield true results, such as 2+2=4, or if they yield false results, such as 2+2=5. Since true calculations can only yield absolute subjective and objective truths, then if such a test proves that calculations that result in the idea of the infinite can only be true calculations, then that test would prove that a subjective and objective infinity must be real. If infinity is real, then an Infinite Mind must exist to make it real.
