I don't know that a divisibility issue thread would go all that far. Thurman's reference to the collider basically is demonstrative of man's desire to reach an end that can be held on to, owned and possessed. Problem being that even with the Hadron establishing the first successful particle collision and supposed gathering of sub atomic information pertaining to universe origin and/or the fundamental nature of matter seems hardly the end of the line or the point of conclusion with regard to infinite divisibility. This basically renders the LHC experiment a 5 billion dollar playstation game. How can the science of infinite divisibility be carried out without infinite experimentation. Will we, even can we, get past this point of atomic particles? There remains the unresolved enigmas of dark matter/energy and the Higgs Boson. I find the phrase God Particle a bit entertaining but who knows what we'll discover over the next 500 years if we don't accidentally cause a planetary implosion.
