I always wonder about this statement as it smacks of the square root of two.
Logic dictates that there is a limit, as there is a finite space available on the drive. There is a finite space in which the minimum amount of data can be applied, therefor, partitions cannot infinitely shrink to accommodate unlimited partitions.

Ok... but that does not explain the physicality of how it can be Unlimited (Or infinite).
