Pi's Infinity: An Analogy
Submitted by John Prytz (John Prytz) on
My theist debating acquaintance, MG, from another place, who just doesn't accept the concept of a temporal infinity[#] (either a linear one or a circular one, either one with cyclic events) on the grounds that you can't get to "Now" from either the starting point of an infinite past or by going backwards from an infinite future. I'd argue that the everyday concept of mathematical Pi disputes MG's assertion.
[#] Despite the fact that theists accept the concept as given that God is an eternal / everlasting being without beginning and without end.
