Can you explain to me how, in your understanding, something finite actually becomes infinite?

No word games; just a straightforward, physical explanation that even a "hitch-hiker" can understand.



here you go 3 lines of c code that go infinite

while {
// Do soemthing in loop
};


Take a laser point into space turn it on ... turn it off. The laser beam will go on infinitely.

There are many things that are finite but will go in infinite unless you define a condition. Infinite loops are common in programming if your dont correctly terminate the condition the same is true in nature.

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
