People have explained it to me before and I'm always just left dumbfounded.Take a rubber band and cut it. Hold it so that it dangles. If you put a drop of water on it, the water drop will fall the length of the rubber band and hit the floor. Now, with some assistance, grab both ends of the rubber band (sill vertical) and as the drop is falling, stretch the rubber band. the water will take longer to reach the end of the band. Given a hypothetical rubber band, you could continue stretching and the water drop will continue falling and never catch up with the end of the band.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
