This appears to be the question that the ancient Greeks asked!. If from point A to B, you were to walk a line, and take a full step and then a half a step and then again a half of that step (and so forth), would you ever reach point B!? The Greeks thought that it was impossible to reach point B doing this!. However, they did not have advanced mathematics (calculus)!.

I believe, it was Des Cartes (I am not sure here), who applied calculus to the problem and demonstrated that yes, it is, in fact, possible to reach point B!. The problem could not be solved analytically using inferior math techniques!.

Now, lets jump to your question!. And let's back track on the logic!.
A road of points which can ultimately be reached, was not endless to begin with and in fact, had a finite number of points - just as in the Greek problem - it had a finite number of points!. Infinity is what infinity is - an endless sum with no boundary and is a constant - infinity is a constant because it never changes - it is like the speed of light in a vacuum, it never changes!. True infinity can never be reached because the "concept" of infinity is an unending number of steps and an unreachable endpoint - the concept is irrespective of quantitative assumption!. So when a point is reached when you say you have reached infinity, it instantly ceases to be infinity, see!? Infinity, by definition, then make one leap beyond any such point!. The reason why point B could be reach in the Greek problem is because it was never infinity to begin with!. It was always a finite distance which APPEARED (was an illusion) of infinity!. The very definition of infinity precludes the definition of point B!. That is where the falicy in the Greek thinking was, that is where the error was - in assuming that there was a point B to begin with and assigning it to infinity!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes because if it is endless then the end is where you begin so where you begin is also where you must end (see a circle it is infinite but it also has a beginning and an end!. You can debate all you want but for a road to be endless it needs no end and you can only have no end through a circle, and a figure that meets itself at its begin thereforee proving that where you begin is where you endWww@QuestionHome@Com

Endless and infinite are pretty explicit terms indicating that there can be no end so to answer you: NO you can't ever reach the end!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No more likely than the woodchuck chucking wood dilemma will ever be resolved!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, because the road will always be at least one step ahead of you, no matter how many you take!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Only if you drop dead!. Then that is the END!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, when you decide to stop!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

no you keep going around and around!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

noWww@QuestionHome@Com

yes!.!.!.when you die!? that is our end, so I think!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
