There isnt that much freedom it seems...and INFINITY

[Monica]

Assuming a vacuum clear of gravitationally significant bodies, light would travel in a straight line, but interestingly it is made of these two sine wave fields that move in and out of each other, and the waves can be described as the plot of points on a circle.

So, you could think of a circle as representing the infinite whole, in that it can be a container for ALL and also that there is no real beginning or ending point to it. We also could say that what we know of as white light contains all the colours of the visible light spectrum and is thus a unity of finite elements.

I hope this made some sense!

Wow, Poffo, I just now finally read your post. I confess I was a little intimidated at first, but you've explained it so well, I actually think I got it! I never thought of a circle as an infinite polygon - that really does clear up the paradox! Thanks!
