Infinity is not a number. It just never stop going but that is impossible. Only numbers go to infinity but most numbers will never be used since they go to infinity meaning that trillions of trillions of trillions of number will not be used. Actually, what I just said is wrong. infinity doesn't represent a large number. An infinity of numbers will never be used. That's the actual statement. And time might be infinite too.

Its sorta hard to explain though..

It is infinite, though. When an arrow is shot, before it reaches its target, it has to go to a point from the middle of the point you shoot to the target you hit, and before that, a middle point from the actual middle point, and so on.

The idea that you can meaningfully think of space as some kind of discrete grid isn't really accepted. It would make more sense to refer to

or even just
