In math, an asymptote of a curve is “a line such that the distance between the curve and the line approaches zero as one or both of the x or y coordinates tends to infinity” (Wikipedia). Maybe you hate math, but bear with me for a minute. Imagine that you need to walk to the door across the room. If you go half the distance, then half the remaining distance, and then again half the remaining distance, you will get tantalizingly close, but
