How can you cover infinite surface without infinite number of objects?

I mean the obvious answer is to use infinitely large objects, but I think you're just being asinine at this point.
No I really don't understand. I look at the image and clearly see the same shape repeated again and again
You’re right that the shape is used again and again, but the pattern of how it is laid does not repeat. So the new thing here is that there is a single shape that can cover the plane AND that it does this without the pattern repeating (and as an aside it cannot be made to do it with repeats)
