O God! I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a King of infinite space...Hamlet, II, 2But they will teach us that Eternity is the Standing still of the Present Time, a Nunc-stans (as the schools call it); which neither they, nor any else understand, no more than they would a Hic-stans for an Infinite greatness of Place.

Georg Cantor forscht zur Unendlichkeit, seine Entdeckungen revolutionieren die Mathematik. Doch in seinem Aufsatz unterschlägt er eine wichtige Quelle. Der Name eines Freundes taucht nicht auf, obwohl Cantor sich dessen Ideen zu eigen gemacht hat.

What do you know about Set Theory?

"As much as I know about String Theory"

I love stuff like this, creating thought about human constructs, subjective and objective results.

Georg Cantor cannot sleep in the infinite room of Hilbert's hotel.
