  • Does this mean that formal math supports the fractal/holographic theory of the nature of our universe? (The idea of the whole contained in the part)

  • Well, in my opinion that is a bold guess. I'm used to thinking of math as something that physics and the sciences use (typically for quantifying and simplifying reality). These mathematical truths might be a useful way to model the framework of the universe, but I'm not sure if it can support it. Having said that ...

    Fractals show up in nature just as often as they show up in mathematics. So it could be that there is some third party supporting both.

    Thanks for the feedback.

  • With the diagonalization, it helped me realize that the new number itself cannot be on the list because if it was, then one of its numbers would be adjusted and hence it would no longer be on the list.

  • yes, diagonalization is one of Cantor's greatest/simplest accomplishments

  • Wow, I am blown away at this! Math is pretty amazing! I greatly appreciate you making this, it helps alot when videos like this are made.

  • thanks, I agree that math is pretty amazing

  • its pronounced Jeeorg not george

  • it's the best vid on infinity by far and "beyond".haha. thanks so much

  • not exactly the vid to watch with a hangover...i shall return

  • Is this why it broke my mind trying to imagine if the universe has an infinite amount of planets (I know it doesn't) and there are ten times more planets without life than with per unit cubed (I know there aren't) then are there still as many planets with life as without? Or am I just dumb...

  • I thought I posted but it seemed to disappear so if it shows up again and this seems like deja vu that's why.

    Excellent discussion. If you have time I would encourage you to do an explanation of Godel's contributions as I have yet to see an explanation as clear as this one for him. If you have already created one/and or know of one you could recommend I would appreciate a link to it. Thanks again for the work.

  • I believe that the Continuum Hypothesis is correct. I have done some video's on the subject of why. I invite the Cellar Academic to view them.

    Thank you.

  • good stuff

  • Just wanted to give you thumps up for a great video :)
