There's an even chance that EVERYTHING' resides in an
imagination ....an arena that shapes real, unreal, and all the
betweens and "other thans" ....a mixpoint of substance and the
knowing of substance. We do NOT know the implications of this
"everything" containment, and any reach to say true of it is no
more than speculation......
That we can imagine something, is our primary grasp of what
CAN be for us (beyond the slow accumulations of science). Even in
science, much-all of what is discovered passes through our
imaginations in the process of BECOMING an IS, within that same
imagination. Some limited experience (empirics) does suggest (to me)
that what can be imagined IS, CAN, and often DOES become into the
shapes we can realize (perhaps even more beyond our natural or
synthetic senses). "Infinite" is only a simple word if it is not
thought about. Once "infinite" enters serious thought, it passes
quickly beyond human rational (imagination); and becomes more a
mind-reach target .....a hoped for plum to invite into imagination.
Expanding in humor and though a steely eyed atheist, I must ever
consider that awkward possibility that the human imagination is
THE' sub construct of our working dimension package (REALITY);
_a_ home for BOTH God/s, gravity and otherishes. Since time has
no orientation or definition beyond the convenience of human clocks,
sequencing pales among relative juxtapositions (likely meaningless).
With all possibles on the table, there is no "infinite", just a
transient term to fill in for our present ignorance of a structure.
An increase in specifically designed (genetic) cortical mass might
likely allow some extended understanding of such within our
lifetimes (or at least that of our children). YET! even that
advance would likely just make known other dimensional dilemmas
.....another and another?
The imagination is the only containment of reality we presently
seem to know from "creator to creature" and how many tiny feet dance
upon that head of pin. .............I think....!
