There have been two opposite phenomenon about the definition for infinite in present classical infinite related science system: (1) plenty of different mathematical definitions for infinite and (2) no mathematical definition for infinite.

On the one hand, we really have had many different mathematical definitions for just half of the infinite: infinities (infinite bigs) in set theory such as “super (higher, more, less…) infinite, super (higher, more, less…) unbounded, super (higher, more, less…) unlimited, super (higher, more, less…) endless,…”, the plenty of non-self-justification “half definition” for infinite which is nothing to do with infinitesimals strongly prove that we human in fact are unable to know how to have mathematical definition for “infinite” at all------it is impossible to have mathematical definition for “infinite” in present classical infinite related science system.

On the other hand, we really have had many different mathematical definitions for another half of the infinite: non-number infinitesimal variables, actual infinitesimals,… in standard and non-standard analysis, but those suspended infinitesimals related paradoxes (the 2500—year suspended black cloud over mathematical sky), especially the newly discovered Harmonic Series Paradox in present classical infinite related mathematics make us have to admit that till now we human in fact are unable to know how to have mathematical definition for “infinite” at all------it is impossible to have mathematical definition for “infinite” in present classical infinite related science system.

It is the time for us human to work at the integration of mathematical definition for “infinite” now?!
