What does at no point mean

I made a big reserche about it but I could not find what it means. Ive been serching for 30 minutes but there is no answer to it, only examples.

Are you talking about the figure of speech? If so, it's probably easiest to think of it as "At no point(in time)". If that isn't what you mean, then it's a circle. Circles have no point :^P

I imagine at point as something like there is no point. Isnt it?

"At no point did you find an answer for your search."

"At no point have you discovered what it means."
 
Point is a moment in time.

At no "moment in time"


At no point should you eat small floating pebbles has the same meaning as:
at no moment in time should you eat small floating pebbles.

so, as others have said, at no point = synonym for "never"
 
Let F(x,y,z,t) = A
where t is time, and x,y,z are spatial coordinates, and A is the event occurring at the specified point in 4-space

For an event X, the statement "At no point X" is true IFF There does not exist a point b = <xb,yb,zb,tb> where F(b) = X

Or in other words, the event in question is not in the image of the function of reality (Or other specified domain).

Maybe they have an infinite number of points?

If we are assuming Euclidean geometry (which is the common place to define a circle) then all (non-degenerate) line(curve) segments contain an infinite number of points. That just falls out from the understanding that every position in the object that can be described by an appropriate n-tuplet (say (x,y) for a 2d space) is a point, and that being a continuous space there always exists a value e such that x0 < e < x1 for any x0, x1.

Of course, if we are talking about a finite geometry on a discrete space (for instance the space of pixels on a monitor) then a "circle" (I put this in quotes because the definition comes out a bit different with a discrete space) will necessarily have a finite number of points. Along with any other closed geometric figure, or curve/line segment of finite length.
 
. . .

See those three points?

Good.

Do any of them have dead fetuses on top of them?

Ok.

So at no point did this post have dead fetuses.
 
math colloquium. At no point is regards to at "no point" along a line. Most cary that over to mean a timeline. So the phrase "at no point" means something will never happen.

Kind of like taking a jump at 30MPH,with no helmet, and walking away undamaged?
