I have always wondered about this and I think it is addressed in this article. How can I ever touch anything if the closer I get the denominator of the fraction of the distance between my finger and the object keeps getting bigger. In other words my finger is a half inch away from the object. Then it is 1/4 inch then 1/8 then 1/16 etc... for infinity since numbers are infinite...or are they?

According to the article, you can't! It is all jut a construct of the mind.
If you had watched the "Matrix Reloaded", then the answer would be "There is no spoon". :-)
