Whether you intended it or not, your question uses a good deal of equivocation to

create enough ambiguity to boggle a normal mind.

-- "infinity" ... When you use that word, do you intend it to mean an endless distance

or an endless time ? The Hebrew language has a word that means both simultaneously,

which makes it a lot easier to contemplate tangled webs like this one. But in English, you

have to choose one at a time, and you have to clearly state which one you mean.

-- "goes on" ... Do you mean a distance, that stretches out like a road, or a duration,

that only stretches out in a human mind ?

-- "forever" ... That word only has meaning if you're talking about time, not distance.

-- "meaningless" ... Well bless my soul! Only a few words ago, you blithely postulated

something that somehow lasts for all of time. You certainly could not have done that if

time is meaningless.

The fact that something is infinite in space, in time, or even in both, doesn't in any way

render it meaningless. The truth is exactly the opposite. Just ask any religious person.

Your next question ? I thought I did rather nicely with this one.

Why is the concept of zero and infinity so important to us?

Zero is important because it gives us the concept of having nothing and there being void this is used for purposes with math and real life in how we view things. Infinity goes on and on forever providing a concept that time does not end or a feeling of eternity which is hard to grasp. But if time did have an end and things just stopped, that would be equally as hard to think about.


What is minus infinity?

minus infinity is not really a number, but some call it an extended real number. It is an idea or a concept.

What is the Latin word for endless?

Semper means "always" or "forever". There are a few other ways of saying 'forever' though many will debate that they are proper translations. A few of them are: aeternus - eternal, everlasting; 'aeternum' or 'in aeternum', for ever sempiternus - continual, everlasting in omne tempus - forever (until all time) A common way of saying 'forever and ever' is 'in saecula saeculorum' It basically means "to the ages of ages."
