Every aperiodic measure-preserving transformation can be obtained by a cutting and stacking construction. It follows that all such transformations are infinite interval exchanges. This is used to represent any ergodic measure-preserving flow as a \(C^{\infty}\)-flow on an open 2-manifold. Several additional applications of the basic theorems are also given.
