Infinity

[ see also absolute ]

What is infinity?

  1. The subject involves mathematical and philosophical subtleties that at this point do not look like a priority for me.

Galileo on infinity

  1. Galileo explicitly says that our finite minds cannot understand infinity.
  2. But in order to say this he needs to know infinity, or at least define it, but no one clearly define this word, so human mind cannot define infinity.
  3. So what right do we have to use this word without defining this word in mathematics.
  4. Set theory charlatans claim to define it which mean that they claim to understand it.
  5. The thing is mathematical definitions are free definitions. You can define anything as anything. Definitions say nothing about existence.
