B.S. You seem to have some problem grasping the meaning of infinite.


Perhaps we just have to agree to differ. From my perspective it seems that you have a problem grasping the difference between mathematical and physical infinities. Of course, many mathematical truths equate to physical truths, but not necessarily all.

One trouble with just agreeing to differ is that it would leave both of us looking at the other, thinking "He doesn't get it".

Your example of the infinite pile of rocks in your back yard illustrates my point, to some extent. Although this presents a perfectly good hypothetical example, it won’t work in practice, because you cannot have an infinite pile of anything. Your pile of rocks is not an infinite pile, so, of course there is no problem dealing with individual parts.


There never was nothing.
