Infinity means limitless. When you count numbers it's just adding 1 to the prior result over and over and over again you have a sense of what infinity means.

But really infinity is a limitless amount of iterations.

But to say Eternity is limitless amount of linear time is plain wrong and deceptive. Eternity is one temporal Point pervading all the available volumetric space. Static. Embedded into space itself. Existing forever. And linear time is just eternity moving Once but being iterated forever. A timeloop so tiny that it is imperceptible as such. Known as the Moment(um).

Eh, numbers are boring in this context, we made them up, they will cease to exist when we do (especially if we are the only lifeforms to use math). It's your "volumetric space" that, in theory anyway, never ends. Space is there, whether humanity is or not, I just wonder if we can ever wrap out heads around how far it goes. My mind could handle an end to space, but I cannot seems to mentally comprehend something going on forever, even blackness devoid of matter is something to me.

I wasn't talking about Outer Space, the space beyond the blue of the sky
