But doesn't it eventually completely decay? I'm unsure of the specific terminology, but eventually, by repetitively dividing in half, you get to a "smallest unit" that is indivisible, and once this unit decays, it's all gone.
Same as with the running analogy, eventually, your shoe size prohibits in practice halving your run again. You reach a point where, halving the distance or not, your toes still peek over the finish line.
