Wow, this ones more popular than it was the first time around, hehe. Thanks for all your comments guys.
As I say, I'm no expert on scalar quantification, and have been inspired over time by both Gem and Hybrid's expositions on the subject.
Most of this stuff, I ripped from a Horizon documentary called, 'To infinity and beyond'. It was narrated by the actor 'Steven Berkoff' in a somewhat sensationalised creepy tone, lol, especially when referring to the likes of Cantor.
You can see through that though. I tend to mainly use this stuff for .... an impression if you like. Loosely. To see what other ideas can be superimposed or reconciled with it.
Sometimes I imagine infinity as being a bit like 'Oblivion'. The eternal name we all share beyond restrictive notions of our current name and form. That from which form arises. The home of us at our most pure. Pure love, pure joy, pure being. Peace. Emptiness.
So not necessarily always the fear based notion of oblivion born from a misconceived sense of self. That's only most of the time, hehe. Occasionally I prefer the one you catch yourself drawn peacefully staring into after momentarily being nudged back into a contented consciousness by a nearby friend or loved one who's invariably sporting an expression of semi-amusement/ wonder themselves, .... perhaps even subconscious awe.....

Highest 'official' number.... according to the Guinness book of records, Deus.
Perhaps only until a bigger one is found... or invented maybe I spose ??

(practical explanation in my initial post should have been practical application of course..)
'invented' i like that.. almost as if even the (to me) most bare bones, basic hard science possible, mathematics, is something that is also a creative endeavor.
I think that though in a way, it is possible 'found' & 'invented' can find a common source maybe, sort of like free-will/destiny, or imagination/reality.
Math is not my strong area, nor physics, but i find some of the ideas, or things there coming up with very interesting all the same.

Yeah this is where I'm at too, still pretty open minded on it really. Common source seems to fit.

Yep this is me, I'm not so fluent in the minute details, not particularly technical minded, but really enjoy the ideas and the work being done.
