How long is forever?

To the original question, the only accurate answer is self-referential. Forever equals forever.

 

Really? I was under the impression that infinite series, or other things that do run on forever, actually do lead to finite solutions :rolleyes:. For example, 1/Infinity = zero :D.

As I understand it (which can easily be called into question) it ([math] \frac{1}{\infty}[/math]) is actually [math]\rightarrow 0[/math], not zero itself.

 

 

 

Let's not argue the gaps. ;) We're both right, so far as a discussion on the meaning of forever can go. :)

Anything times infinity equals to infinity. Infinity never start nor end. "Forever" is a certain space of time (let's say a second) times infinity, meaning it has no beginning and no end. As time both started and eventually will end, there is no forever. That's my theory.

Seems like a combination of Buckaroo Bonzai and the Beach Boys (specifically, Sloop John B.)

 

Here is a penny for Buckaroo....but you owe me a dollar for throwing in the Beach Boys......

Tell me guys, how long do you think forever is? Or what it feels like? Or something...

 

The only way I can think of forever is outside of time. No time means no beginning, ending or present. What would it feel like? You can only feel the present, so forever would feel like that.
