> As a static number, the concept of infinity makes no sense; but once reimagined as a process

Super insightful. That's the key right there.

The same concept can also be applied to the physical world. Things are not static, they are in constant flux, everything is a process in motion.



Yes, although for me this conception of infinity as a process also captures why there are probably no actual infinite things in the universe, only in silly games with numbers.


Could you elaborate? Why infinite process cannot be actual thing in the universe? It's not like we know the start and the end date of the universe...
