How do we know this, that is like, between point A and point B, there perhaps is only 1cm, but in that one centimeter is an infinite number of points.

There can't be an infinite number of points, as you gave a set distance.

yes there can....you divide the distance in half, then the halfs into halfs, etc.....you can keep going forever, althought of course, you will soon not be able to tell what you are doing.....idk how to explain it....but it works....i think

^That is true. If you keep dividing by two you will never come up with zero, it's just not mathematically possible.

exactly, you would end up with decimle answers, and there is no stop to decimle places and numbers bc/ they go on for infiniti, just like whole numbers.

No, I think it depends sometimes on the person. What kind of problems they have and what they have gone through rather the Brain can process so much info or data as you said. The brain is a sensative part of your body and what you go through rather good or bad has a big effect on it. If you go through somthing bad I think in a way it can damage it (in a ways that you may not notice) I mean that may not be believed by others but that my opinion on it.
