ok infinity is a concept and not a number it refers to something infinantly large, but it is used in math for limits ex: lim 1/oo  x -> oo  equals 0 if you use abs(F(x)-L)<e and x>n.  it is also the basis for the theroy that we live in the forth dimension. 

the 0 dimension has 1 point  oo^0=1
the 1st dimension is a line with an infinant amount of points oo
if you run a line through every point of the 1st dimension you get a plane so you have infinity more points per point which is the same as oo^2
if you put a line through every point on the plane you get volume and and since there are infinity more points per point in the 3rd you get oo^3
so the 4th dimension would have to make 3d space infinatly larger (oo^4 points)and time does that since there isnt a limit to time making each point, but this is just a theroy and it doesnt matter any way.  considering time to be a dimension is just tecniality and i doubt any scientific discoveries will result in seeing it one way or the other.

also please dont tell me i cant spell to save my life i already know that tks
