infinity is a measurement.
it is not a particular measurement as in a finite measurement
ie , a meter , a yard.
The English word infinity derives from Latin infinitas, which can be translated as "unboundedness", itself calqued from the Greek word apeiros, meaning "endless".
In mathematics, "infinity" is often treated as if it were a number (i.e., it
counts or measures things: "an infinite number of terms")
the word infinity is defined as a measurement.
the word infinity is all that we have to work with.
endless is a measurement.
infinite is a measurement.
to say that something has a measurement of 1000km is a measurement.
and
to say that something is an infinite number of kilometers is
a measurement.
Im not saying that we know what that measurement is.
if we did , we wouldnt be having this discussion.
its
just a word that we use to describe such a situation.
