    Ever notice that as the particles get smaller, the apparatus needed to divide them gets bigger?

    I don't think we will ever find the smallest of the small without the biggest of the big. Mathematics as I understand it is conceptual but a whole can be divided infinitely.

    1, 2, 3, 4, 5... We can go on forever.
    1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5... We can go on forever.

    I think this line of experimentation is a good thing but somehow I don't think the fruits will be what we thought they'd be.

    I think we are getting close to perpetual motion. The implications of which would be staggering.

    I'd be happy for self sustaining fusion.
