Yanniru sometimes writes interesting and
substantive posts on this forum!

"Such flows are always finite and the principal characteristic the delta function is its infinity at an infinitisimal point..."

All physical processes apparently are finite if
by "infinite" we mean n+1 where n is the sum of the previous n+1. But if by "infinite" we mean
"uncountability" then there may be a physical process with an "infinity"
at an "infinitesimal point" which is not zero
but has been considered zero as a "placeholder,"
as Stormcrow would say.
