If you use infinity as a "context idea" then you can do, more or less, what you like with it, but the more diverse meanings you give it, the less real meaning the word has.

As I see it, there are two main ways in which language is used:
Artistic; in which you use words in novel and imaginative ways.
Scientific: in which you strive for clarity and precision.

It seems that the scientific community are content to use infinity in distinctly "artistic" ways.

There never was nothing.
