I don't think we can escape infinities!

Nope. Create a single point in undefined space and you instantly have at least three infinities to deal with. The infinity of vectors away from the point, an infinity of vectors toward the point, and an infinity of all vectors. Make that into a line, and you have all the infinities of the line itself, above and below, toward and away. Add a point to that line, and you're off to the races once again with infinities on both sides of the point, moving in opposite directions.

What a mess.

I think Zeno wasn't talking about his drinking buddies as much as a point on the number line.
A point by definition has no dimension just a position.
