I think this was explained by someone it your last thread about infinity.

I said there are many different types of infinity.

 

Take the set of discrete (note the spelling) integers  0, 1, 2, ...

This set is infinite because the sequence does not terminate.

No member of the set is infinite, all the discrete integers are finite.

The set does not 'contain' infinity ie does not have an infinite member.

The set is not an integer, it is well .... a set.

100% Understood...But this is quite different I assure..

Are the non terminating numbers a frequency?? 

I think I moved too fast on this one though...

If "time" is linked to energy then shouldn't discrete amounts of energy "somehow" mysteriously intigrate itself in our current understanding of nature?? After all, quantum energy is circular, IE angular momentum...Is this correct?

 

It's like you said, many types of infinities that lead to the same "conclusion."
