Today, I heard somebody use the phrase, "near infinity" or "nearly infinite" or something like that. I don't remember who said it or what the context was, but that phrase jumped out at me.
If you think about it, it's impossible for any finite number to be nearly infinite. Take any finite number you want, be it ever so large. If you double that finite number, you still will not have reached infinity. If you multiply it by a thousand, you still will not have reached infinity. So no finite number is near infinity.
