Elevator Pitch - What's the Opposite of Infinity?

The video explores the concept of Infinity, its applications in real-world scenarios, and its role as a mathematical tool. It discusses the opposite of Infinity, the idea of infinitesimally small quantities, and how Infinity helps in understanding limits. The video also emphasizes the importance of reframing Infinity as a mathematical concept rather than a physical one.

What is the primary characteristic of infinity?
