Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: We have created the term and concept called infinity because we can imagine. We are unable to comprehend it because our perceptions through the sensory organs are all finite and limited. Our logic is unable to find any piece of information gathered by our senses with which to compare the concept of infinity to create any practical understanding of it.
