Infinity

Beyond all counting

Infinity is the concept of something without limit or end—boundlessness that extends beyond any finite measure.

In mathematics, infinity represents a quantity larger than any number, used in calculus and set theory: The series approaches infinity.

Figuratively, infinity suggests vastness or endlessness: I could stare at the stars for infinity.

The infinity symbol (∞) visualizes this concept as a continuous loop.
