What do you have? Is it two halves of infinity, two infinite roads or two finite roads?

There would be two infinitely long roads. Let's suppose that there are two bridges, 100 meters apart, and both are destroyed by the FDL. Then there would be a 100 meter section of road between two infinitely long roads. Why is that? ..Because, as you have pointed out (I think), infinity is not just a very big number, it's limitless.

Here's a question for you, Bill: Given an infinite number of destroyed bridges, each 100 meters apart, would there still be two infinite lengths of road remaining, or would there be an infinite number of 100 meter sections?
