Use of infinity has advanced many fields, such as [[mathematics]] through [[calculus]], [[set theory]] and [[singularity|singularities]], [[quantum mechanics]] through infinite [[uncertainty]], and [[physics]] through the [[Big Bang]] (infinite [[energy]] density) and the speculative [[black holes]] (infinite mass density).

In addition, recognition of infinity -- such as infinite time or infinite strength -- is helpful on a personal level in dealing with adversity. [[Jesus]] often emphasized the concept of infinity in his [[miracle]]s and [[parable]]s. He rejected the mistaken view of the ancient Greeks that infinity is non-existent and incoherent.<ref>{{cquote|The Ancient Greeks generally conceived of the infinite as formless, characterless, indefinite, indeterminate, chaotic, and unintelligible.
