Ode to Double Infinity Squared

   Growing up, I had this concept that the largest number was double infinity squared.  There was no educational basis for this, there was no person I received the idea from; whether for humor or for sheer admiration of the concept, I felt that nothing could top double infinity squared.  Wouldn't double infinity cubed be larger, you may ask?  Theoretically, yes, but for our purposes, no.  This is because for me, double infinity squared represents the ultimate idea of what is; which is the accountable, numerical, as well as the unaccountable, innumerable.  So double infinity squared is much more of an idea than a mathematical reasoning; therefore the represented squared or cubed are more or less meaningless, embellished attachments.  So why not infinity?  Because infinity is already a mathematical concept that is made up of real numbers that extend endlessly.  Double infinity squared is an idea, not bounded by numbers, letters, or symbols, it is just composed of what is.

   Double infinity squared is an idea not limited by theories of rights and wrongs, science, religion, or philosophies.  It is an open forum to explore what time has taught us, is teaching us, will teach us, and will not have been able to teach us.

Who Am I?

    Who am I? Who are you? What is our purpose here? Do we have a purpose here? Does our evolved mind make us seek meaning for an existence that is essentially fleeting and meaningless?  What is the universe? Is it quantifiable?  Is it infinite or finite?  Is there a theory of everything?  Does science capture that answer for you?  Does religion answer those questions for you?  Dare to ask questions.  Dare to be in the dark.  Dare to have self-doubt.  Do the established theories and religious mantras cloud our existential, raw natures?  Or does science and religion give supportive, evidence-based foundations to establish something as large as the universe around?  These are questions I ask myself, while becoming comforted with my own  philosophies about life.

   My objective is not to change anyone's thinking, nor to put down the beauty of a religion, nor to dismiss  years of research of science.  My objective is just to open your mind.
