For four decades, a quiet boundary in pure mathematics kept a powerful theorem locked inside the safe world of finite quantities. Now a new result known as Sebestyen’s theorem has pushed that boundary ...
A classic math rule now handles infinity. New work strengthens the math behind physics and unbounded systems. % ...
The big thinkers at Aperture explore infinity and the different ways it appears in mathematics and physics. Suspected ...
When mathematician Georg Cantor first glimpsed the true nature of infinity, it changed mathematics forever. He demonstrated that infinity isn’t just endless—it exists in different sizes, each opening ...
