Just some points to think about...
Even though we dwell in a world that is tangibly finite, the human mind, and heart if I may add, recognizes something infinite. There might be such a thing as "infinite curiosity" despite the finite nature of the human mind that "produces" it. Probably, some of the manifestations that seem to justify that there is such a thing as "love for infinity" are mankind's constant exploration, experimentation, and proclivity to face new challenges. These manifest despite the state of being adequate in terms of material necessities such as food, shelter, and clothing. Why long for something more despite being satiated already by material adequacy? Are we driven by greed? Are we driven by love? Are we driven by some unknown inadequacy?
One example is space exploration. After we have conquered the waters and continents of the earth, we are now trying to "conquer" the vast "lands" of beyond in the Milky Way galaxy and the universe. Mathematically, we know that the universe has its bounds, but what about the "lands" of "even more beyond" outside of the universe. Despite the impressive achievements in space exploration, the reasons behind doing the exploration provide a venue for some contemplation. We have formulated many questions concerning the universe even though we still have a lot of questions to answer within the earth itself. Perhaps, the answers to the questions that we have here on earth can be found by answering the questions about the universe. However, it seems that the bottom line question is: "Are we alone in the universe?" We have this curiosity about the existence of extraterrestrial life. So, it seems that the curiosity is mainly about life and existence after all. Life is finite, but there seems to be something infinite about it, and that something infinite is worth "fighting" for.
