– Infinity?
In: Mathematics
Let’s assume you can walk around the world (pretend there are no oceans, or pretend you can swim really really well). Stand on the equator, face east, and start walking. Don’t stop until you are unable to take another step. How many steps did you take?
Of course, in the real world, you would stop from exhaustion long before you got anywhere near around the world, but imagine you never got tired. Never had to eat or sleep. Just walked. Walked east and continued walking east along the equator and eventually got back to where you started, but you can still take more steps! So you keep walking. Forever.
How many steps do you take?
The answer is “infinitely many”.
