Imagine standing in a circle of light and all around you is darkness. If  
the light increases in diameter and the floor increases in size (i.e. not  
revealing new areas of floor) and the increase is such that you cannot  
reach the circumference by any means; does the floor you're standing on  
extend beyond the light?
