Infinity is like something that goes on and on forever and never, ever stops!
Imagine you have a favorite toy. You can count them: one toy. But infinity isn't like that. You can't count to infinity because it just keeps going.
Understanding Infinity
-
No End: Think of it like a road that never ends. You can keep walking and walking, but you'll never reach the end of the road because it goes on forever.
-
The Infinity Symbol: The infinity symbol looks like a sideways figure eight: ∞. It loops around and around without stopping, just like infinity!
Examples of Infinity
- Numbers: You can always add one more number to the list, and you'll never run out of numbers. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... and so on, forever!
- Space: Space is so big, we don't know if it has an edge. It might go on forever!
- Loops: Imagine drawing a circle. You can keep going around and around that circle forever!
What Infinity Isn't
- A Number: Infinity isn't a number you can count. It's an idea of something without an end.
- Something You Can Reach: You can never "get to" infinity. It's always getting bigger and bigger.
So, infinity is a really big idea that means something goes on forever and ever!
