@BilboGrabbins

Hi there!
🙋

I have a Query, Especially for You.
Interested?

A_______B

A simple line.
Start point A.
End point B.

I suppose i can keep dividing it into Halves.

But considering Planck's Length, Can i Divide it until Infinity?

If i Know the Line's point of Origin(A) & am Aware of the Line's point of Cessation(B)...Does that sound like Infinity?

Or if i didn't know the Origin, n was clueless bout the End.
Infinity!

Ps - Thanks E_S for the suggestions.
I've Realized my capacity to understand & learn is Not infinite.
Hence i do not bother myself, & also spare Others of goin thru the troubles of explaining me things which i Firmly Believe i shall never understand.
(Reason i Request for short & brief answers, i Hate it when Teachers waste their Precious Time on Futile Things)
: )

No, to divide through the Planck length infinitely many times would be equivelent to a singularity. That is itself equivelent to a breakdown in physics.

Hi again.

I'm aware of this thought experiment... And no. You cannot divide infinitely. There is a physical stop sign in physics .

What physical stop sign in physics?   Are you talking about an indivisible planck length?  This was mentioned in reply #53.  Otherwise lengths such as those in the tortoise and hare experiment or angles such as in Bored Chemist's example can be divided more times than any finite number of times (which is fair description of infintely many times) and it can often all be done within a finite amount of time.

Best Wishes.

Yes the Planck length. This is the ground rule that prevents  continuous divisibility.

Eternal Student,

I'm aware of this thought experiment... And no. You cannot divide infinitely. There is a physical stop sign in physics . Again, infinities are not physical things.
