Can infinity be simulated?

If by infinite randomness you mean true randomness, then I don't think it can. All random generators are programmes that follow an algorithm to produce 'random' results. Whilst for most purposes the result is sufficiently random to be useful, they are not as random as, for example, drawing lottery numbers.

mathematics has to have a number but normally God is infinite so mathematics can't take on infinity

Isn't infinity by definition incomprehensible, at least to the senses?

Undefined, again the common mistake is to treat infinity as a number.  Infinity does not play with the same rules as numbers.

The answer that others have offered (that the square root of infinity is infinity) is not really helpful, I think.  The problem is that infinity is not a number, but a direction, like "east," or to use a more mathematical term, like "less." It makes no sense to ask for the square root of infinity (or how big is "infinity plus one," or anything else that that treats infinity as a specific number). \n\nJust to confuse things a little, however, there is such a thing as "degrees of infinity."  ;-)

yes, there are infinte, the universe is infinite and besides that, there are infinite spacial-temporal or just temporal realities, not just one, not ten, not a million but infinite. Just imagine ! You should read The Fabric of Reality by David Deutsch. a great scientist in physics and , he is English, proffesor at Oxford I think.

"In general, infinity is the quality or state of endlessness or having no limits in terms of time, space, or other quantity. In mathematics, infinity is the conceptual expression of such a "numberless" number. It is often symbolized by the lemniscate (also known as the lemniscate of Bernoulli), which looks something like the numeral 8 written sideways.   This symbol for infinity was first used in the 1600s by the mathematician John Wallis.\n\nInfinity can be defined as the limit of 1/x as x approaches zero."\n\nAs for how infinity is seen - it isn't. By definition, it has no limits.  And living in a 3-dimensional world, where everything has height, length and width, we can't even truly comprehend infinity.

1 + -1 = infinity is a false statement.\n\ntherefore\n\ninfinity = god is also a false statement for all false values of god.\n\nAnyways, since you are asking a math question, think of it as adding a sine wave to a cosine wave.  The net resulting wave has 0 magnitude.  Just as having one apple then taking it away.  You are left with no apple(s).

infinity \n\nand for those people..\n\ninfinity + 1, infinity x infinity\nand infinity ^ infinity

easy infinity +1\n\nThe limit that a function is said to approach at x = a when (x) is larger than any preassigned number for all x sufficiently near a. \n\nThe key word here is preassigned.  In this case there can never be a true infinity.  You have to define the set that you are taking to infinity.  Whether it be numbers, distances, time, space, etc.  Just by defining the set, puts a limit on your answer, which makes that limit infinity.  And any comparable limit is infinity as well, unless it's exactly the same as the first.

Yes.  Infinity goes in both directions.  Space is space, large or small.  IMHO  ;-)

There are several attitudes to infinity. The most basic definition of an infinite object is simple:"anything that is not finite." To picture something that is infinite. Imagine on a the number line, a number that is defined to be greater than any other real number, and call it the sideways 8. Such a number, by virtue of its definiton is not finite, because it is greater than any finite real number.\nAnother approach to infinity is through limits.\nWhen we say that something approaches infinity, it means that something is greater than any real number.\nAnd finally types of infinity. The natural numbers and the rational numbers are of the same type of infinity. The irrational and the real numbers are of a "stronger" type of infinity, the number of all functions is even a greater type of infinity. The types of infinity are really determined through comparison with each other, in the theory of sets.\nInfinity is a very big subject and this short explanation doesn't satisfy it. The approach I recommend on your son's homework is to take a few ideas from different fields, and give brief examples to each idea if he can. The teacher shouldn't be asking for more than that. Hope that helps.

This is an interesting idea, and yes it is plausible.  Unfortunately, there is no way for us to surmise whether or not it is true, so this is something that can never make the status of a scientific theory.  \n\n(Misconception: most people think a theory is just an idea, but a true scientific theory must stand up to experimental scrutiny in order for it to make the status of a theory.  Since this concept is impossible to test or verify, it can never be a theory, and must stay in the realm of ideas and friendly debates.)\n\nHere is another cool thing to consider:\nThe Universe cannot be infinite, because it is expanding, which points to its origin where everything began at the same point, namely the singularity of the Big Bang. Therefore, if it is expanding, it is bounded.\n\nHowever, it is thought that it probably doesn't have an edge, much like the Earth doesn't have an edge. If you started in a spaceship and went in a straight line, you would eventually end up where you started, much like if you started at the North Pole and went in a straight line, you would end up back the North Pole.\n\nThe reason: although you would be going in a straight line on the 2-D surface of the Earth, that line is curved in the 3rd dimension. So, if spacetime is curved in the 4th dimension, you could be going in a straight line 3 dimensionally, but it would be curved 4th dimensionally.\n\nHowever, one could look at it this way instead: The Universe does have a definite edge, but as ou approach that edege, you and everything else shrinks, which means you could never make it to the edge.  You wouldn't be aware of the shrinkage because even the measuring devices would be shrunk, so you would think you were going endlessly in a straight line, when in reality, you were approaching an actual finite edge, but never making it.  Again, it can never be tested, so just a thought ;0)

well, it does not have to be INFINTE, it can just be UNLIMITED.\n\nwhat's the difference?\n\nwell, on the surface of say, Mars, you or I, in a rover, could walk forever and never hit a limit.  But Mars is clearly not infinite.

A little over infinite

I think the odds would be 1 in infinite. That's just because you could just any number, and you only have one guess.

Uh, the whole thing falls down in part 6. Infinity is not a number. Its a limit.
