Thought for the week: In order to run a mile, first you have to run half of a mile, and then a quarter of a mile, and then an eighth of a mile, and then a sixteenth of mile, etc. In order to get the sum of half plus a quarter plus an eighth plus a sixteenth, and so on and so on, to equal ‘1’ you have to carry the sum on infinitely, and hence, in order to run a mile you have to do an infinite amount of things, and that’s quite an achievement.
