Here's my take... it's not infinite. It just can't be described in finite terms with the constraints of a base-10 number system. Also - it's not a number, really....it's a relationship between two other values. Now...you've got to ask...why can't we measure those things precisely? Because not everything in the universe is made to fit in a base-10 number system. The universe wasn't built on base 10... humans just try to measure it in that range because that's how many fingers we have....? I'd bet that in another system of measurement, things like pi and the golden ratio come out even... Tim Shay
