Getting closer to infinity

In 1,2,3,... do we get closer to infinity or not?

Also, tell me if this is correct, i like to think of numbers as a circle, and infinity the middle.
Even if we travel 100000 times the circle, our distance from infinity is constant

Maybe, maybe not.  Depends on the metric you use to define how close you are to infinity.

Your question doesn't make sense. Lurk moar.

a triangle = 180 degrees
a straight line = 180 degrees
a triangle = a straight line

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Sounds vaguely like the Riemann Sphere coordinate mapping: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_sphere
But you can approach infinity when working on the Riemann Sphere, and it's a 2-manifold in 3-space, rather than your line (plus a point) in 2-space.  You can even construct a legitimate function which gives you the euclidean distance between the mapping of a Complex point and infinity.  Not that this would give us any particularly useful information, but it is a method you could use to quantify "close to infinity."
  Also of interest: "[It] makes expressions such as 1/0=∞ well-behaved and useful."

I doubt you do, infinity is not a defined number/point that you can reach making it impossible to reach and to get close to.

Straight line = 180 degrees
Triangle = a three sided polygon whose angle measures, in Euclidean geometry, add up to 180 degrees.

damn

STFU Dumbass

Dope.  Where do you hear about this stuff?  I can't seem to find anywhere as entertaining to read about this sort of thing as 4chan.

Oh, and I just read a great article on the ask Dr. math forums.  Basically if you define your ordinal numbers as a set, then you have an infinite set, but with an index.  In other words, if I want to go the nth element in the set, it is defined.  So this would be like a well ordered set where each element is equidistant from each other element, which would be kind of like an infinite string of elements.

In contrast in the set 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 I'm continually getting smaller, and each element is continually getting me less close to 0.  This is the other kind of infinity, where it defines a process.

Something like that?

If by infinity you mean the concept of an arbitrary large number used when evaluating functions (i.e. behavior of f(x) as x->infinity) then yes every increase, no matter how small, is closer to infinity. However conceptually since infinity is infinitely large you really aren't getting any closer.
