Theorem: in geometry there never can be constructed a infinite-line from any number of finite line segments. Proof: Since old math does not recognize infinite-numbers, that no matter how many finite number of line segments we put together, they still will never summon into an infinite-line-ray. However, if a precision definition is given in geometry or algebra saying that finite-number means all numbers less than 10^500 and over that is infinite-numbers. Well, with that definition we can say that an infinite number of finite line segments builds a infinite-line-ray. Now the problem of Place Value is also solved and I can stop typing in numbers like 9999.....99999 or 99999....99997. Because when finite-number is defined as less than 10^500 and all numbers above that are infinite-numbers. Then we can type in infinite numbers with place values such as 10^505 is an infinite number and has a place value of significance tied into all the numbers below it. So in a sense, I believe, the only way to solve this crisis in mathematics of well-defining finite number to infinite-number is to place this boundary (I prefer the largest number in Physics) and then this boundary thus gives meaning to Place-Value of infinity. What it all does, in the end, is make us understand that infinity means merely, beyond our ability to count or measure physical things. Physics stops for us at infinity. The infinity in the old math meant someone on a spiritual order or a religious nonsense order of something eternal, everlasting. So that when we ask, are the primes infinite, what we really are asking is whether there are 10^500 set of primes. And when we ask are the Twin Primes infinite, we are asking if there is a set of twin primes that has a cardinality equal to 10^500. And when we ask how many unit line segments does it take to form a infinite-line-ray, the answer is 10^500 such unit line segments put together forms a infinite- line-ray. P.S. I made a gross error in previous posts by saying the primes and twin primes are infinite if just one such is found that is larger than 10^500. Corrected, that should have read, a set is infinite if its cardinality is greater than 10^500, for it does no good to just find one sample beyond the boundary of 10^500. One must find an entire set containing 10^500 such types of numbers to call them an infinite set.
