It should be kind of easy to figure out even without knowing Latin. (No offense...  )
Ad infinitum means "to infinity" or "forever" or something along those lines.

Yeah, well, just because I've had latin doesn't mean I actually know it! And, I'm not smart enough to figure out stuff like this, either.
