Nothing can perform infinitely many tasks.
To complete an infinite number of tasks would require an infinite amount of time. Nothing can do anything which requires an infinite amount of time. Nothing can perform infinitely many tasks. Aristotle rejects this argument in terms of the distinction between infinite divisibility and infinite extension. But, Aristotle's argument is not quite right, since the infinite divisibility of the motion is reduced to the infinite divisibility of the temporal interval of the motion.
