Here is an infinite sequence, always growing, but never reaching the value 1:
0, 1/2, 3/4, 7/8, 15/16, 31/32,...
So infinite growth is possible.
Here we can also see the tendancy of the rate of profit to decline
Sure. Infinite growth isn't the same as having a minimum positive growth.
In the same sense as a perfectly spherical cow is perfectly possible.
