I am not convinced that we can have infinitly small...infinity does not respond to subtraction or addition...clearly if something is infinitely small it could be added to and the impact could be noticed whereas infinitly big does not respond this way.
I dislike the Universe being described as infinite if we subscibe to a big bang start ...you cant double and redouble any number to reach infinite...any doubling can only amount to finite.
Driving thru the bush today it occurred to me even here on Earth no tradjectory could be observed without observing energy..photons come from an infinite number of tradjectories and I suspect there would be no tradjectory along which energy did not flow...
I am not trying to prove anything here (in support of you know what) but its something one does not think about and when you do ...well I find the prospect hard to get my head around thats all.
