You have a sphere wihch has exactly an infinite amount (an oxymoron, I know) of three dimensional points. Testing your new sphere, you roll it on a table top. The table has friction, but not much of it. What happens?

in order for perpetual motion to occur, both surfaces have to be frictionless, and there can't be any air density. Eventually, the ball in your question will stop as a result of friction from the table and air resistance.

Hi. An infinite pointed surface would not have much rolling friction but would still be subject to drag of some type.
