ben was satisfied with that answer and kind of likes the idea that infinity is big enough to be both odd and even.
本对答案很满意,他有些偏爱这样的想法:无穷大很大,大到既是奇数也是偶数。
infinity is a general property of having no bounds, whereas eternity is a property of time.
无限是一个无边界的一般属性,而永恒则是时间的属性。
that is, there is an asset such that it has the maximum safety possible, a safety of infinity as it were.
也就是说存在一种具备最大化安全性可能的资产,它的安全程度是无限的。
this is where the logic of infinity gets very weird.
说到这儿,无穷大的逻辑变得诡异起来。
can anyone, he asked, explain the difference between infinity and eternity?
有没有人可以,他问,解释一下无限与永恒之间的区别?
you have to learn them one by one, but you could produce a virtual infinity of sentences.
你必须一个个的去学习这些词,但你却可以创造出实际上无限的句子
well, the infinity mechanism, and many of you will be familiar with this from mathematics or computer science, is recursion.
这种无限机制是递归的,你们许多人会在数学与计算机科学中,熟悉这个词
dna also has this sort of combinatorial system where you have a finite number of, i guess, bases or amino acids that could combine to a possible infinity of strings of dna strings.
脱氧核糖核酸也拥有这种组合系统,你的生物基础或氨基酸数量是有限的,但却能组合出,几乎无限的脱氧核糖核酸螺旋结构
and here you get a potential infinity of sentences.
这样你就能得到潜在的无限数量的句子
so we might as well do it in a civilized way and simply move that object in from infinity along a straight line.
所以我们也可以用,用更开明的方式来做,仅把这物体沿着直线,从无穷远处移动过来。
you can grow your potential to infinity to produce the results you really want in your life.
你可以使你的潜能发挥到无限,产生你真正想要的结果。
