Is Maimonides' proof of God's infinity valid today?
Maimonides in the Foundations of the Torah 57 writes: And our God, blessed be His name, for His power has no end and does not cease, for the wheel always turns, and its power is not the power of a body. Is it correct to say today that "the wheel turns with a power that has no end," since all energy apparently has an end? And if this is not correct, is there a creature that is defined as "infinite" so that we can validate Maimonides' view from another place? Thank you, Eli.

The rotation of the wheel, assuming there is a vacuum (and there is a wheel, of course), does not dissipate energy. As long as no force acts on a body, it continues to move in a uniform motion in a straight line.
I didn't understand your question. If energy does indeed have an end, then this is the proof itself. It is a fact that the wheel keeps turning all the time.
