    My interpretation of 2001: a space odyssey

    The first monolith grants the apes the ability to think, and the monolith orbiting Jupiter seeks to show the humans the next level “above” that; something that would be needed to understand the context of the universe. What do you think?

    A thought I had when I woke up this morning and made poached eggs

    You can slice the infinite number of numbers into an infinite number of infinite slices, each of which can be sliced the same way ad infinitum

    Undergrad What are the Implications of this thought I had?

    It means that there is an infinite distance between any natural number n and infinity, and a finite distance between n and zero.

    Undergrad What are the Implications of this thought I had?

    For any natural number n, there exists an infinite number of natural numbers higher than n, and a finite number of natural numbers smaller than n. Therefore, n is always infinitely closer to 0 than infinity What does this mean?

    A mathematical zen koan

    I disagree, according to my calculations it would be a ****ton.

    A mathematical zen koan

    Say you have a dot. That dot explodes into an infinite number of dots. Each of those dots explode into a new infinite number of dots. Each of those dots explode into a new infinite number of dots, ad infinitum. How many dots do you have in total?

    An intuition I had about infinite numbers -- Is it valid?

    There are an infinite number of numbers. You can take those infinite numbers and slice them into an infinite number of infinite slices each of which can be sliced the same way ad infinitum.

    Undergrad The natural numbers and logical consequences of them

    I mean multiplication, division, addition, subtraction of each of the natural numbers

    Looking for movies where mathematics actually matters

    In pi 1998 a 216 digit number is the key to the structure of the universe

    Undergrad The natural numbers and logical consequences of them

    Is there any basis for this outside of set theory?

    Will anyone alive today see a permanent colony on the Moon or Mars?

    The moon was the first other planet we reached. Mars will be the second. The second is nothing and will barely even be remembered compared to the first.

    Undergrad The natural numbers and logical consequences of them

    Dividing them. Such as by 10, 25, 38, and so on.

    Undergrad The natural numbers and logical consequences of them

    The definition of infinity is that it is how many natural numbers there are. You can take those infinite natural numbers and slice them into an infinite number of infinite sets, each of which can then be sliced the same way ad infinitum. What does this mean/imply?

    Math Math major jobs in the space industry

    I’m looking for jobs in the space industry that I can get with a degree in math. Are there any? What are they? Thanks in advance :)

    Undergrad My basic understanding of set theory

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom_of_infinity This is the best definition of infinity in my opinion, and it is mathematically rigorous
