Default Could 1sec be Eternity?

I was just wondering that could it?

If you would count .01. That would keep going because of the billionth of a second also because of the trillaseconds. So you basically will be counting .000001 continuously.

Thought's?

I could go further if some don't understand.

This is the old Apollo and the tortoise argument, by the famous philosopher, Zeno. He argued that it would be impossible for Apollo to pass out a tortoise because first of all he'd half to run half the distance, then half that again, and so on, never actually getting there.

Needless to say, it's fallacious, as is your logic, for the same reason.

I knew the flame was going to come from you sometime.

Anyway you could keep counting, you would never run out of numbers which the numbers being are infinite. Making 1 sec. equal a(n) eternity.

Why would someone want to do that? Also time does not loop. It's different from the other three dimensions in that it only knows one direction.

I think there's a smallest time: about 10^-43 s. If you want to know why people think that there's no smaller time, resp. that why no shorter times are relevant for anything, read about quantum physics.

In Quantum physics there are tiny particles, one hundred billion times smaller than the smallest bacteria, or life form you can see at magnification, thus there is an infinite ammount of space there, because every life form could just keep getting smaller and still continue to exist no matter how small it get's, meaning there is infinite space.

Wrong. One hundred billions are not infinity.
