My physics question for today: How does the 'finite' resolve out of the 'infinite'? Infinity (imho) lies behind everything, so how do we get anything 'finite' out of that? It seems the finite (finite universe, finite time, finite quanta, etc.) are an aberration from the 'norm' of infinity.

@thomas_klopf @onan finitude is what happens when you start keeping score.

Without a process, infinity, but once you need to put one foot in front of the other, limited span, limited duration.

@B1 @onan right this is great, so causality is also a product of the finite. I guess my question is, how does anything finite (and therefore quantifiable) come out of the infinite in the first place? If we are always ‘looking’ at something infinitely large or small, how do we see something concretely quantifiable?
