I think that their giant massess of sentient space capable of wiping out entire solar systems and stars with enough raw power to punch the penultimate into next week if he's having a bad day.

Precisely. Anti-magic, immutable and capable of absorbing most other energy...

But I'll be darned to the pits of doom if you think "JESTER MAKE BIG BOOM" is going to be all it takes to get rid of the Cosm threat.

Almost-infinite is impossible. That's like saying you can almost count to infinity.

There you go, that's as close to infinity as anyone will ever get wo I can almost count to infinity.

Infinite for energy simply means that it'll never run out, in other words it's being freely created at an enormous rate.

He's right.

If you only counted to twenty, that would be almost infinity in a way.

Okay, SMART ALECS, since you wanna be that technical, then I'm talking about INFINITE, not INFINITESIMAL.

There's a difference.

And if you go by THAT logic, then even a BATTERY has almost infinite power.

He is NOT right, Zale, so don't encourage him...

Look at it this way, if you never count past one, than that is as close to infinity as you'll ever get.

Ugh *facepalm*

Stupid technical correctness.

ANYWAY. The only point is I'm against use of terms like "almost-infinite" and "almost-forever". It's not easy to explain or comprehend a PORTION of infinity.

by the way infinity is not a number it's an adjective which simply describes something which never ends or runs out.

Doesn't matter. You can't ALMOST reach the end of something that extends to FOREVER...

...........It's an infinite amount of energy that can only be used for a certain amount of time. So Almost infinite. like a perpetual motion device that eventually destroys itself.

Okay, gotcha. But I mean it just makes more sense to say you have limited access to an otherwise infinite supply. Longer, but more accurate.
