Does infinity exist?
Favourite answer:If it does, we'll never know. It would take infinitely long for light to reach us from the far edge of infinity, so we will never see it in the lifetime of the universe. And a black hole isnt infinitely dense. Whilst its so dense that not even light can escape from it, the mass is still finite, equivalent to a stellar mass many times that of our sun, compressed into an extremely small space.

Do you know any scientific theories that were recently proven as fact?

How does the concept of oblivion affect you? ?
Ignoring whatever you do believe about mortality and thereafter, how does the prospect of oblivion/absolute absence of existence in any capacity of sentience, post-mortem, make you feel?
Personally, it petrifies me, I like existing.
I want to re-iterate, this isn't an attempt of atheist/theist divide, any and all may answer but objectively. Hypothetically, perhaps for some.

I’ve made a big mistake. So I was warming up food. I left my spoon in the bowl and put in the microwave and cooked it for two minutes. But nothing happened. It was a Metal spoon by the way. My microwave didn’t spark. Now I’m afraid to go by my microwave. I’m not sure if something bad is going to happen later but I’m scared
