That is the quanta. Remember this, a point is just a point. It does not have to obey any laws. It can just exist as in a dream. A sigh is just a sigh. These fundamental things we cannot deny. As time goes by. (All those points) So kiss off. :) Just pointing. EC<:-}

Infinity is bisectual. It goes both ways. Things can be infinitely small, or infinitely big in our mathematical imagination. Calculus works on the infinitely small. All kinds of areas that have effal width and finite height Add them all up by multiplying by our friend infintity and you have a finite limit of the area circumscripted. Question. Can you put a point right beside a point? Well, no. You cannot. There is no beside a point except in finite-point-land. Which is not beside the point. If you could put a point beside a point, you could also put a point in between them. Yet the point exists. It also cannot be divided. It has a position, yet it can be surrounded by an infinite number of points, which also have no area, so they are there, but not beside it. Another point must occupy a finite distance from another point to be created and be put somewhere finite and thus creates an infinity of points between it and any other point. What this means is that the real cannot create a continuum but can create quantum. Points thus are called unique. EC<:-}
