INFINITY vs. BEGINNING and ENDING

INFINITY - WHY and WHY NOT?

An assumption has been made based on research performed by a variety of scientists that in the beginning, the universe came into being by a Big Bang. An assumption also exists that after a huge amount of time and a reverse process to the Big Bang, the universe will probably cease to exist.

I am not a scientist. I am a thinker.

I think that science is not able to accept the concept of infinity. It talks a good line about it but the utility of the concept seems to escape them. Playing with numbers and even generally with time is the closest that science (scientists) comes to accepting infinity's existence. The very definition of the word does not find meaning for them.

By accepting infinity's existence, one can readily accept the fact that there is not nor was any begininng to what we call everything, namely, the universe. And we can also easily accept the fact that there will be no end to everything.

The form of things certainly changes. The speed of things changes. The power - however measured - changes. The universe changes. And those changes may or may not be observable, measurable, understood, and believed. The forms of things are infinite.

But, there never was a beginning nor will there be an end. We are in infinity. We are in a form and the universe is in a form, that is observable, measurable, and understood, at this place and time of infinity. We can imagine other forms and other places and other times, but we cannot prove that they existed outside of now or infinity.
