** Creator/DouglasAdams has more fun with infinity with the ''Guide'''s claim the universe is uninhabited, because there's an infinite amount of universe and a finite amount of people, so ''on average''...

* The concept of The Infinite as an actual speed is played for all the absurdity it is worth by Creator/DouglasAdams in ''Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'' with the Infinite Improbability Drive. At one point, we're told that the improbability level is "infinity minus one", which the text acknowledges ''makes no sense''.

A common misunderstanding of infinity is that infinite is equivalent to everything. For example, there are infinitely many even numbers, and infinitely many numbers in between 1 and 2, but those infinite sets are a tiny fraction of the infinite set of all real numbers.

* ''VideoGame/AntimatterDimensions'': Infinity is rendered as 1.789e308; having that much of a resource usually stops all production, at least until you break the infinity limit. The first reset layer is also called Infinity, obtained by getting your antimatter to infinity and then performing a Big Crunch. Then once you get infinite Infinity Points, you can get an Eternity.

* The singularity of a [[UsefulNotes/BlackHoles black hole]] is thought to have [[MindScrew infinite density and volume of zero]]. This is likely untrue however, as we don't have a working theory of quantum gravity to explain black holes actually work.

* ''Manga/ChainsawMan'': The Eternity Devil traps the Devil Hunters on the 8th floor and sticks the time at 8:18, a play on how a lemniscate (a symbol for infinity) looks like a sideways eight.
* ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'': Zamasu's final form is called "Infinite Zamasu", it's basically a massive amalgamation of seemingly endless Zamasu faces whose sole goal is to assimilate the entire multiverse and can break across timelines.
* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'':
** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Golden Wind]]'': Giorno's Gold Experience Requiem stats has a zero in everything. While this could be explained as the reoccurring "power of zero" theme by constantly negating all manner of attacks thrown at it, delivering a decisive attack will subject its target to an eternal ResurrectionDeathLoop.
** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Stone Ocean]]'': When struck by Pucci's C-Moon, Jolyne manages to counteract the effects of her body being destroyed by constructing a band of infinity; the Mobius Strip, with her strings. With no concept of inside or outside on the Mobius Strib, Jolyne is able to undo C-Moon's ability of inverting objects.
** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun Steel Ball Run]]'': Johnny's Tusk Act 4 is a literal representation of infinite energy. It cannot be stopped by seemingly any metric, being completely unaffected by manipulation of time, dimensions, or the translocation across multiple realities.
** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureJoJolion JoJolion]]'': Josuke discovers that Soft & Wet's bubbles are really infinitesimally thin lines spinning at high speed into the shape of a sphere. This makes them infinitely close to being functionally non-existant, removing them from normal causality and creating an entirely new power; Soft & Wet: Go Beyond.
* In ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', during a super-powered fitness test, the characters have to throw a ball as far as possible. The teacher has a device/app that instantly determines the distance to wherever the ball lands. Ochaco, who can negate gravity for any object she touches, [[ATwinkleInTheSky tosses the ball into space]]. The measurement tool [[RuleOfFunny somehow understands this bizarre situation]] and displays an infinity symbol.
* ''Literature/SwordArtOnlineAlternativeGunGaleOnline'': Team Zemal has it on their team logo, as embroidered on their uniform jackets from SJ3 onward, is a machine gun ammo belt shaped as an infinity symbol.

* In ''Literature/{{Necroscope}}'' Harry Keogh (and his heirs) gain access to the Moebius continuum (with its ability to time travel and teleport) by being able to calculate the infinite length of a moebius strip as a finite number.

* DWN-∞ is the serial number of Zero of the ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' series; it's implied that his creator sees Zero as having an unlimited potential.

to:

* ''VideoGame/MegaManX'':
** X's defining trait is his limitless capacity for growth. He has no limits, no set parameters, and no way of knowing just what he can become. His worrying more intensely and thinking more deeply than other Reploids from as early as the first game is a sign that his mind operates under this principle as well, but it manifests most clearly in gameplay.

* ''VideoGame/{{XenoGears}}'': Infinity Level is when Gears can attack with any specialized Deathblows after performing enough attacks to deal strong damage to enemies.


Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'': The Octan Tower is claimed to have an "infinitieth floor" despite the fact some can clearly see a finite number of floors during the scene the camera goes from the bottom to the top of the tower, and see all of the floors.
