Re:How to explain infinity to kids by hutzlibu on Thursday August 02, 2018 @06:53PM (#17676120)
I thought it was obvious (to kids it is) that I was talking about the sum.

"Do that process twice" "Perhaps after you're done putting apples " "..."

the point is, that the process is never finished ... just like you can never have a biggest number...just like the table has no end.

Defined as infinity. Kids do get that.

What they usually don't get are abstract mathematic concepts.
