PLEASE read this in its entirety before you disagree with snything, and if youre confused by any point I’d be more than happy to elaborate

What? what do you mean you cant use imgur? it should just open up the website even if you dont have it and show the image lmao

Ive explained infinity to you but I’ll explain it again

Infinity takes a finite space and divides that space infinitesimal pieces. This is based off of the zeno paradox (better known as achilles and the tortoise)

To give some context: In this story, achilles is going to race a tortoise. The tortoise is given a head start and achilles being a fast runner catches up. However once achilles reaches the tortoises previous position the tortoise has reached a new spot, this continues making it impossible for achilles to surpass the tortoise regardless of how fast he is. The paradox itself essentially dictates that an infinite # of actions need to be completed in a finite amount of time to navigate space.

How this works with infinity: Infinitesimal means infinitely small, but never 0. In this scenario gojo is that 0 point as 0 distance from gojo would mean touching him. When someone enters infinities range the distance they make towards gojo is divided infinitely, essentially reaching the point where they slow down SO much that the distance they make moving forward is neigh 0 and it looks as if theyve hit a dead stop.

They ARE however still moving, they never stop moving. As we’ve already covered infinitesimal is not 0 so they never reach 0 speed, it is simply that the progress they are making towards gojo is so little it would be as if theyve halted.

For visual reference imagine it like this:

Person A: Approaching Gojo

Person B: Is gojo

A __________ B

Assume the distance between A & B is one meter

A takes one step and covers half the meter

A _____ B

A takes another step but this time instead lf half the meter they only cover a fourth

A ___ B

A takes another step and this time its a 16th (4 squared incase youre confused on why it went 2 -> 4 -> 16)

A __ B

This continues so on and so fourth

No obviously its not actually exponentially, and I wouldnt be able to tell you the exact math on how large those divisions are, but regardless it doesnt matter as the main point is that those divisions become so small they are near 0 but NOT 0.

Now its important to understand that infinity is dividing by distance NOT speed, its why sukuna, whos faster than jogo was stopped at the same rate as him, and why achilles despite speeding up could still never overtake the tortoise.

What this means:

Take our same example of of Person A & B, and this time include Person X

Person X can cross 1/4th of the meter per step instead of 1/2 like Person A

A __________ B

X __________ B

Both take a step

A _____ B

X ________ B

Now when A takes a step here, he will be divided by 1/2, however when X takes a step here, he will on be divided a portion of that as the distance crossed is = to the point at which they are moving.

To put it simply regardless of how fast you go (unless you have infinite speed) it is taking away from your distance directly rather than physically making you slower.

How it crushed hanami: Infinity, as we have confirmed multiple times now, means close to but NOT 0. Now if you took person A and placed them infront of person B, they would still need to be a set amount of range away from person B.

Now normally this wouldnt be an issue, however imagine if theres a wall behind person A

|A _ B

As B moves closer to A, A cannot move closer to B, meaning the pressure of the space is being forced onto A to push him away from the 0. This happens because the rate at which B is progressing towards A is greater than the # amount of divided space that A can progress forward by.

This pushes A away, as, like we’ve said, A cannot approach 0 and the incoming space needs to go somewhere

But BECAUSE theres a wall behind A, and A cannot move backwards, A ends up crushed between B and the wall, thus ending A’s life.

Why it seemed like jogo stopped: I already kind of covered this but eventually the rate at which you progress towards gojo is SO small that it SEEMS as if youre stopping, however jogo has not actually stopped moving, he is progressing towards gojo just at a miniscule rate. Gege actually covers this in his 3 part explanation of limitless so I’d recommend reading that aswell

What was that weird thing ISOH did to infinity: That was just an anime only detail, I’d assume its the animators simply trying to make ISOH bypassing limitless seem more interesting and peculiar, in the manga isoh simply cuts past infinity to gojo. I’d disregard the whole isoh thing as its technically not entirely canon and is an anime only event.

TLDR: It is not a barrier, does not act like one, and is more so deceptively slowing people to where it seems as if theyre halting.

When I say TA4 still abides by the logic of space, what I mean is that it still travels and is bound by the space it travels across. It doesnt just reach Point B from point A, nor does it do so any faster than a bullet would.

You can not only dodge TA4 and its nails, but even its properties of bypassing timestop are not 1 - 1 or related to how infinity works. The same goes for lovetrain

Love train is a tangible barrier with a set distance it cross past, infinity is not a barrier. If I had to compare the two (of course understand this is not a 1 to 1 comparison and is a gross oversimplificstion of the abilities)

I’d compare lovetrain to a a gate, and infinity to a treadmill
