Wasn’t it Jim Baggott who talked of “fairytale physics”?

This is an interesting article, but for me, the main interest is in seeing yet another example of how scientists think about infinity. If by “infinite” we mean unbounded, then all these repetitions of repetitions are totally unnecessary. If we mean infinite in anything other than a mathematical (approximate) sense, then what makes us think that the concept of repetition has any meaning in “the infinite”?

There never was nothing.
