How DO we study infinity?

  1. Great topic! As a start you might have a look at David Foster Wallace's book EVERYTHING AND MORE: A COMPACT HISTORY OF INFINITY.

  2. Thank you. Oh yes, you did mention that book during the conference. I hope the public library has that book.

  3. Great question. When you say study, do you mean educational wise, philosophical enlightment or anything in general? If you do figure out a way to study (as in school study) infintely, call me up! Cause I wouldn't mind learning how to do that!

  4. I don't mean educational wise. I mean it with some sort of philosophical entanglement... If that clears up your question. I'll let you know when I find an answer. :)
