 Then quit posting on subjects you don't understand. Even mathematicians
have trouble dealing with the concept of infinity. Just because a ratio
approaches
infinity is no proof that a finite portion approaches zero. Finite is finite
whether
it is part of an infinite set or not. I bet you'd really have trouble with
the fact that
there are actually different "sizes" of infinity i.e. some infinities are
bigger than
others. Does that mean the lesser infinity approaches zero too? (The answer
is no)
