Dear Lurch,
Until recently i believed that only one thing could be classified as being infinite. Numbers. But numbers are not of physical form. There are also several theories out there that the universe is infinite. It has to end somewhere right?
Well, that used to be my thinking. I recently completed 3S3M and now i realize that there are physical forms with infinite capacities in this world.
1) The amount of rain a man can ride through in 50 miles. 2) The amount of pain a man can experience in 100 miles. 3) The number of riders with poor bike handling skills. 4) The amount of food i can eat after finishing a ride.
Is this some new-age thinking or am i simply adding moisture to an already wet chamois?
Sincerely,
A Chaffed Comrade

The perception that things have to end is only a human concept. We think that there has to be end to everything but that is not true. If you take a plane strip of paper and twisted and then connect the ends, you have created what is called an amebic strip. If you place a pen on the paper and pull it through it will write on both sides of the paper and continuously. what ones had a beginning and an end and you could draw on one side now can be drawn on both sides and non-stop. I think there are things that go on forever in the universe, although they may have to go through recycling from time to time, the basic components are always there.
