Is the number of elements finite?

The number of distinct elements counted in a finite set S is denoted by n(S). The number of elements of a finite set A is called the order or cardinal number of a set A and is symbolically denoted by n(A). Thus, if the set A be that of the English alphabets, then n(A) = 26: For, it contains 26 elements in it.

Are all elements finite?

Hence, every element has finite order but the group is infinite.

What is the meaning of finite and infinite?

An infinite set is endless from the start or end, but both the side could have continuity unlike in Finite set where both start and end elements are there. If a set has the unlimited number of elements, then it is infinite and if the elements are countable then it is finite.

What is finite number?

A number that is not infinite. In other words it could be measured, or given a value. There are a finite number of people at this beach. And the length of the beach is also a finite number.

Is 0 a finite number?

Zero is a finite number. When we say that a number is infinite, it means that it is uncountable, limitless, or endless.

What does finite and infinite mean?

What is finite and infinite number?

Is the universe infinite or finite?

The universe may be infinite, but we can only see a finite section of it due to the finite speed of light.

How many elements are there in the universe?

The basic chemistry says that adding enough neutrons and protons to an element gives rise to another element. That way there should be infinite number of elements in the universe, isn’t it? While it definitely true that the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determine its element, the conclusion does not follow.

Why do we assume an infinite number of elements?

Secondly, slightly pedantically, even if high atomic number atoms were stable, to assume an infinite number of elements is to assume the existence of a nucleus with an infinite number of protons, which is to presume the existence of an infinite number of protons to begin with.

How many galaxies and planets are there in an infinite universe?

So there would be an infinite number of galaxies and planets in an infinite universe. If however there is an infinitesimal probability of something happening, then in an infinite universe there would only be a finite number (for example 1) of those things.
