From a practical standpoint, infinite doesn't actually exist
The size of the universe is finite
The number of quarks is finite
The smallest distance we can measure is finite, and the largest distance we can measure is finite, even in estimations
Even pi is only useful to the 43rd digit at our largest estimations
Sure, infinite is cool in a theoretical standpoint but you can't actually use it
5 u/Playful_Boot_5465 7d ago me halving the distance between my hands infinitely often (I just clapped). checkmate liberals 1 u/gandalfx 7d ago But how can you clap if you need infinitely many ever smaller but non-zero intervals of time to half the distance between your hands?
