Umm what the...?

First off, infinity not really possible.

Secondly, why? Wouldn't they be empty spaces if you just kept going?

EDIT: OOoo your first post ever. Making more sense.

You can join the different spaces to a circle... that's as much infinity as you can get. Then, maybe make it scroll continuously through the spaces, instead of jumping from one desktop to the next.

How to implement it? I don't know.
Is it possible? Certainly with Linux, OSX might not allow you to do it however.

Have fun!

You won't be able to reprogram the OS. It doesn't work that way.

Also as other stated infinite in computers is impossible, you'll always run out of resources.

Not to mention, to even get close to touching graphics you need a lot of experience in the console. You'd need to start learning programming language basics, then probably object oriented concepts, then you can move to working with API's, and when you get good at that you can start looking at doing this type of thing....

...but you'll never be able to reprogram part of an OS unless its open source. Mac OS is built upon open source but its not open source itself.

As far fetched as this sounds, you could make a tweak that could accomplish that, (using MobileSubstrate for Mac )

Side effects would be Finder and iTunes having issues, the developer didn't finish ms due to lack of interest...


@internet0nomad: if you absolutely want to try, learn to program in objective c and cocoa, then look into method swizzling. heres an interesting article explaining it http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?MethodSwizzling
This will be an endeavor however
