Does the infinite exist? And how to prove infinity? (Part I: Infinity in mathematics).

Infinity in mathematics. 

Is Pi the infinite number? (3,14...). Pi is a circle's circumference to its diameter. Proving that thing is impossible because proving infinity requires endless time. 

And there is always the possibility that after billion years of calculations, there is an end to that decimal number. There are calculated a million numbers for Pi. That thing means that is Pi infinite or not is a mystery. But today, Pi is mentioned as infinite numbers. 


Infinite in mathematics. 


The infinite in mathematics is the endless number. The problem is how to prove that some number is infinite. 

Proving infinite requires that the system uses infinite time for that thing.  So proving endless requires endless time. And nothing can continue forever. 

We don't know are the irrational decimal numbers like Pi (3,14...), really endless or infinite? There is the possibility that some quantum computer finds the end of that number. 

Normally mathematicians are searching sequences that are continuing long enough. Those sequences are telling that there is the possibility that the decimal number is endless. Or the next calculation in the angle of division brings the end for that number. 

The Pi is one of the decimal numbers that describe as endless. But there is the possibility that quantum computers will find the end to that number. The reason why I took Pi as the example is that Pi is the real value. 

It's the circle's circumference to its diameter. And that means it's a so-called real number. Series like Riemann conjecture are endless if we want. But the a circle's circumference to its diameter is very accurately limited. The one simple calculation gives the value (3,14... ). And that number can continue forever if the quantum computers are not finding the end for that number.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments.  Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape.  We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures.  The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time?  Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger.  The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers.  "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions.  And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object.  Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
