Infinite in a sentence as a noun

It's much trickier to carry out with infinite sets.

If this happens, you say that the infinite bag of reds is larger than the infinite bag of blues.

Now we go to set theory, where bags of marbles may be of infinite size, and then they're called "infinite sets".

If c is rational, then there will be an infinite number of connections, but how infinite?

Because we'd rather just bull through and get things done than spend an infinite amount of time fixing something that isn't fixable.

The word that, should your colleague choose to pursue it, will lead him down the same rabbit hole to a universe filled with infinite combinations of infinite possibilities to produce a form of hyper-efficiency previously attainable only in his wildest of dreams.

With infinite bags, it becomes much trickier to prove that you can do this every time, and you need some way to ensure that "carry on until you're done" actually carries you to the end of the task, instead of getting you stuck in some sub-infinity of pairings without finishing all of them.
