...casually that it becomes a commonplace. And infinity is far more difficult to comprehend than a comparatively small number like 660,000,000,000,000,000 miles, the distance to the Magellanic Cloud at present. It would take 1,130,000,000,000 years of constant walking to cover the distance, or--in more familiar terms,--a Dudley Street car might make it in 1,134,000,000,000 years.
