    Make it the biggest number you can think of.

    Infinity is bigger than that.

    I'm afraid of heights. Imagine how terrifying it would be to be on the tippy top of Mt. Everest balancing on one foot with your backpack and all your gear attached. That would be one hell of a fall. The thought of infinity makes me more dizzy that that would.

    I have no problem with infinity...space...just look up and that's what it represents to me...heights don't bother me at all...I'm claustrophobic...it's spelunking and elevators that freak me out...smallest I've felt on the planet in comparison to my environment was definitely snorkeling in the Pacific Ocean..

    Here is an infinity related riddle:

    Is the number 1 always bigger with a number that can be represented as 0.X where X is any combination of digits?

    Are you referencing the theoretical construct of 0.999...(repeating) being equal to 1?
