Regex Look Ahead

Today for a project I was trying to make use of regular expression and learnt about groups and how to use them. I am using this site to test it.The problem is that whenever I write the following regex:

(?=\S*\d)

, the site gives me an error : the expression can match 0 characters and therefore can match infinitely.

while this doesn't throw any error :

(?=\S*\d)(\S{6,16})

can anyone explain to me what is the meaning of the error.
