Answer to Question #90670 in Astronomy | Astrophysics for Robert

Question

If you have infinite energy can you release infinite power forever by just releasing half of the remains energy each second?

Answer 1

Infinity is not a number. That's why it does not obey the rules of algebra.

For example:

$$\infty+\infty=\infty$$

$$\infty+1=\infty$$

We cannot operate with infinite things in that manner: one infinity of this plus half infinity of that.
