Right, the Hotel would work mathematically, but could not work physically.
Only because there is no such thing as an infinite hotel. The idea is a mathematical one anyway, and yet it is counterintuitive in that sense, as you yourself have effectively just said.

Thus, an actual infinite cannot occur.You keep giving me the right answer. Just connect the dots. The process has never ended (the end being this present point) given an infinite regression of time into the past.God does not equal the universe; your theory does not stand as is.
