infinity

Beyond all numbers

Infinity is endlessness—quantity or extent without limit.

In mathematics, infinity is not a number but a concept representing something that grows beyond any bound: parallel lines meet at infinity.

In everyday use, infinity suggests vastness: I could stare at this view for infinity.

The symbol ∞ represents it.

Things extend to infinity and beyond, or loop into infinity.

An infinity of something is an endless supply: an infinity of choices.
