if something takes an infinite  time to get ''somewhere'' then relatively its velocity is 0.
It never gets there!
You state infinity is not a number, then contradict yourself by using it in a math expression. Human society has no experience with anything infinite, so a definition is feeble at best.
You can't measure a stick that only has one end!
Please explain, I don't seem to 'see' my own contradiction?  Can you please point it out to me?

You posted 1=∞.
Infinity is not a number, and not even a noun. You are  comparing apples and oranges. The statement 'he tossed the stone across the street' makes sense. The statement 'he tossed the beautiful across the street' makes no  sense.

There is no contradiction and it does not state the infinite is a number, it states the number 1 can be infinitely large.

Perhaps if you answered the very simple question I asked you would have the same answer. 

How far can 1 be extended from 0?

Your question makes no sense.
OK now you have an answer ( the only sensible one, btw).

My question is in English and a very simple question to answer. Let me try it another way, we are going to define a length of space and start at 0.  We will end at 1 to set a boundary.

What is the maximum possible boundary length?
