An interesting observation. Perhaps things that are 'infinite' don't give a perceptible feel of infinity. Things that are very huge but finite do. Of course, infinity is a well researched topic and with all due respect, getting into confrontation with the mathematicians over it would be the last thing I want to do. But I am just comparing here two feelings: the one of watching the sky; and the one of watching an ocean. Sky/space being supposedly 'infinite', one seems to take its infinity forgranted, and simply credits it less for being infinite. An ocean, on the other hand, being finite, but so huge, tanatalizes us with the curiosity about its actual size. The very knowledge that it is finite and hence fathomable, but the desperate inability to actually fathom it, leads us to believe, that well, this thing is literally infinite !

got lost in infinity
abey i have exactly the same feeling of 'infinite' whenever I am at a beach... it sort of humbles you, makes you feel small!
