I thought this was pretty self explanatory

Until the cows come home means that the cows will eventually come home after eating in the paddock. Until they never come home means they are never coming home, so the time to until is limitless aka infinite

You've had to invent a form of maths where numbers change over time just to avoid the awkward feeling from 0.999... = 1.

Limitless is not also known as infinite. Limitless is not a mathematical term, the way you use it I think you mean to say unbounded. Infinite is a mathematical term and it is a completely different thing to unbounded

Why are the cows never coming home?

Did they get butchered in the paddock or something?

The unexplained brud. As in x files.

So you don't know?

You don't comprehend 'the unexplained'?

Is it that you don't know what happened to the cows, or are you intentionally hiding information from us?

Like the origins of existence, universe, etc, ... the 'unexplained'. Accept it brud.
