Infinity
Word — gematria and numerology meaning
| Cipher | Value |
|---|---|
| Ordinal (A=1, B=2…) | 106 |
| Reverse Ordinal (Z=1, Y=2…) | 110 |
| Reduction | 52 |
| Pythagorean | 52 |
| Chaldean | 26 |
Infinity carries an ordinal value of 106, reducing to Seven, a number tied to reflection and inquiry. Its forward and reverse ordinal values sit close together at 106 and 110, because its letters are spread fairly evenly across the alphabet. The Chaldean system gives 26, which reduces to Eight and so reads differently from the standard total.
"Infinity" comes from the Latin infinitas, "unboundedness." The sideways figure-eight symbol was introduced by the English mathematician John Wallis in 1655, and the idea of infinite sets was put on a rigorous footing by Georg Cantor in the 19th century.
Mathematics. Cantor showed in the 1870s and 1880s that some infinities are larger than others: the infinity of the whole numbers is smaller than the infinity of the real numbers between 0 and 1. The symbol ∞ is called the lemniscate, from the Latin word for a ribbon.
How Infinity adds up
In the ordinal cipher each letter takes its position in the alphabet. Infinity is spelled I-N-F-I-N-I-T-Y, which gives 9 + 14 + 6 + 9 + 14 + 9 + 20 + 25 = 106. Reducing the total to a single digit (1+0+6=7) gives 7.
| Letter | Ordinal value |
|---|---|
| I | 9 |
| N | 14 |
| F | 6 |
| I | 9 |
| N | 14 |
| I | 9 |
| T | 20 |
| Y | 25 |
| Total | 106 |
