Science has pushed forward its exploration and operation into the immense distances of the cosmos without being able to conceive an end to them, as it has penetrated the unbelievably tiny world of the atom with a similar result. This is the mathematical infinite. But there is another. No instruments and no apparatus can be applied to objects of thought which imply its existence, for measurement and quantity are not concerned. That is the metaphysical infinite.
