How to Create the Infinite and Hold It in Your Hands and Other Mathematical Meditations
Tech Tribe Dispatch #60
💡 Think:
How can a finite world be contain the infinity of the Al-mighty?
Take a pencil in your hand, feel its weight. Now draw a circle on a piece of paper. Now draw a straight line across the diameter of the circle. Two physical shapes, created by your hands - visible in their entirety to your human eyes.
Now think about the interface between these two shapes, the resulting formula, π, a transcendent irrational number. Never ending as its digits stretch on 3 . 1 4 1 5 9 2 6 5 3 5 8 9 7 9 3 2 3 8 4 6 2 6 4 3 3 8 3 2 7 9 5 0 2 8 8 4 1 9 7 1 6 9 3 9 9 3 7 5 1 0 5 8 2 0 9 7 4 9 4…
A physical paper, with physical graphite lines drawn with a pencil made of wood, wax and earth, clenched in the flesh of your physical hands . . . and yet, it contains the infinite.
