How does "infinite" exists when nothing could be infinite?

No infinite is real and it's NOT a number, BUT it can be pi! The short-term for pi is 3.14 because pi goes on forever. We may not be able to define forever because our brains can't handle it, but there is infinite and forever. Our galaxy goes on infinitely, but my brain only thinks of our galaxy (The MilkyWay). So yes infinite is NOT a number, but many numbers, and infinite is real!

Well sort of Dakota,   

Pi is not infinite, it is a very specific number that just cannot be expressed finitely in our standard digits.

So it has an infinite number of digits,  they do not terminate of recur that is true. 

I can write pi exactly.  See here it is    $$\pi$$

 

Perhaps I am just being pedentic.  But mathematics is very pedentic, that is why it is so much easier then languages - at least there IS a correct answer. LOL

But yes Pi does go on forever. The digits after the decimal just keep going.
