To Infinity and Beyond

I caught myself thinking about Buzz Lightyear on a walk this morning.

His famous remark, “To Infinity and Beyond!” isn’t something to be taken lightly.

In geometry (I think), it points to the idea of a return to your starting point from the opposite direction. 

But I feel mathematics may be attempting to make sense of something which is difficult to comprehend. Like, the idea of Buzz Lightyear taking off into nothingness, and continuing.

Infinity symbolises no limits. Never-ending, yet never beginning too. 

A friend of mine asked me last week, “What would happen if we were in a rocket and just kept on going, where would we end up?”

That planted the seed for my wonder into Toy Story. My only answer for now is, “To Infinity and Beyond!”
