Is this kind of like saying the increasing number of equal-length sides a geometric figure gains as it "evolves" (starting as a triangle which then becomes a square then a regular pentagon... on and on until, FINALLY, it becomes a circle) is the final outcome of reaching the most minute matter?

@RenFur I saw a whole show on Infinity and the cited your example; mind boggling.

@JimboSaturn
I'd've liked very much to have seen that show!

@RenFur I think it's called A Trip to Infinity on Netflix.

@JimboSaturn

Thanks for the information - I know not from Netflix but I'll find it.

@JimboSaturn

I already have it!

2022 - "Does infinity exist?"

@JimboSaturn

That is some long link! LOL

I have it, J... I starred it for a quick look-see. It has animation as well as dialogue with top cosmologists and the like, right?

JimboSaturn · 51-55, M

@RenFur yes precisely that's it

Update: I'm 13 minutes in and it's refreshing to hear that all these really smart people are amazed how impossibly weird infinity is! The one guy says infinity plus 1 is infinity as well as infinity minus 1 is infinity... on and on... LOL. Oh yeah, infinity plus infinity equals infinity...

Think on this: point at the sky. Pretend that from your pointing finger a laser beam of light shoots out. Now, move your whole arm (with finger attached of course) and imagine how far out in space that very powerful beam of light would reach the speed of light before it would start to resist traveling that imaginary arc.
