What exactly is infinity? On Wolfram|Alpha, I was bored and asked for $\frac{\infty}{\infty}$ and the result was (indeterminate). Another two that give the same result are $\infty ^ 0$ and $\infty - \infty$.
From what I know, given $x$ being any number, excluding $0$, $\frac{x}{x} = 1$ is true.
So just what, exactly, is $\infty$?

I am not much of a mathematician, but I kind of think of infinity as a behavior of increasing without bound at a certain rate rather than a number. That's why I think $\infty \div \infty$ is an undetermined value, you got two entities that keep increasing without bound at different rates so you don't know which one is larger. I could be wrong, but this is my understanding though.
