apparently still Infinity, according to everyone I've discovered on line to answer the quesiton.
And that makes sense to me. Well, it makes "cents" to a dollar. Well, it makes "one cent to a dollar", so you can now make change for a dollar by giving one penny for a dollar. If Penny is "hot", then the person who gets the Penny made a great deal. We all know Penny was hotter than Judy, right? At least she would be when she became legal age. She appeared to be more 15ish, though, so guys couldn't say she was hotter than Judy without going to prison.
Any way, what were we talking about? I mean 1% of Infinity ago? Oh, yeah, Infinity in percentages.
Well, Infinity isn't really a number, is it? That's the key. It's a value. While numbers are not considered adjectives, they are sometimes considered nouns, pronouns, or adverbs. Hence, which of those can you "divide" into percentages?
Infinity is Infinity, and since it is intangible, it's hard to grasp.
In Materialism, Infinity is even more intangible, because it's never the same amount of time. If one believes in Annihilation, or the materialistic notion that one soul begins and ends with its lifetime, then Infinity for that soul is different for each soul. That's their personal Infinity, and I'm okay with that. If that's how it is, then that's how it is. Infinity for someone born April 1, 1845, in Savannah Georgia, and ended on February 1, 1963 in the U.S. Civil War, would be less than 18 years, and never even intersect with someone who was born October 30, 1945 in Madagascar, and died on October 28, 2003, without ever leaving Madagascar. For each of them, you could make one percent of Infinity, and it would be a different value, thus making Materialism a pipe dream with no logic. If that's what it is, that's what it is.
If souls depended on material to be classified as individuals, then the souls would only have a fraction of a second for Eternity, because atoms are constantly interchanging electrons with other atoms, and are thus never the same. Of course, the individual wouldn't realize this, because each fraction of a second, the new individual would "inherit" a memory of the past soul. This all sounds like great Science Fiction, but it doesn't explain why this would be the reality, if it was the reality.
If your Eternity was the Savannah soldier in the Civil War who died before his 18th birthday, then for all Eternity, you would live that lifetime. This would explain deja vu. Of course, after living that lifetime for fifty consecutive times in less than twenty of our centuries, you would think the individual would decide that instead of lifting his head out of a ditch to be decapitated by a cannon ball, the individual would decide not to do so, and thus change everything. And if all individuals had this chance, then History would not just be different, it would be alien. We might never have Alexander the Great to even exist. We might have pointy eared Vulcans and furry wookies and orcs running around.
And History would continue to change until the time came when there were no souls contemplating their own existence, thus making such changes illogical. So, by all logic, we should just be a bunch of pointy eared Vulcans who don't care when it's all said and done.
And then we could all agree on not dividing Infinity. But just to make you pointy eared Vulcans mad, I'm going to divide Infinity by Pi a pi number of times. How you like that?
