I have a theory that the infinity sign was originally supposed to look like boobs.
You know, the sideways 8. I bet it’s supposed to look like a pair of boobs because boobs mean “infinite fun”. Right?

@InvaderNice 🥺
if it was supposed to portray boobs I'm guessing he'd use ω
[quote]John Wallis is credited with introducing the infinity symbol with its mathematical meaning in 1655, in his De sectionibus conicis. Wallis did not explain his choice of this symbol, but it has been conjectured to be a variant form of a Roman numeral for 1,000 (originally CIƆ, also CƆ), which was sometimes used to mean "many", or of the Greek letter ω (omega), the last letter in the Greek alphabet.

@InvaderNice Tbh I don't think boobs were such a sexual object back in the days (17 century lol) and that they were more of a food for babies

you might have a point about the boob-infinity sign connection, before inventing baby bottles there was a moment in a person's life where boobs were the only thing keeping a human alive. I must have had a gigantic symbolic value. I would say that if the infinity sign has anything to do with boobs its because of this.
