When we get to this Saturday, next Saturday moves a week beyond our grasp. In some sense, when we die, our own timeline ends, and we can finally arrive at next Saturday for the first time.
Because the longest lives are around 110 years, and children start speaking around 3, the furthest in the future “next Saturday” can be is abouy 107 years.
