Chaos theory.....when B. Mandel.......and others.........measured the actual length of a coastline....of an island.....or a country.............the tons of ebbs and bays.......the way the thing is curved......with an ever more finer measuring stick......they found it goes towards infinity........how many grains of sand are on the beach........if u let that be your measuring stick...............well, there are just too many to count....
