Ever wonder how a mathematician tried to explain infinity to the Catholic Church and ended up with some miscalculations? Yeah, me neither. Georg Cantor thought he could convince them that there are two kinds of infinity. Sounds like a fun math party, right? But, spoiler alert: it didn’t go as planned. Guess the Church wasn’t ready for that level of unlimited thinking. Just goes to show that even in math, some things are better left infinite. Honestly, I could use a little more infinity in my life, like an infinite amount of naps or snacks. So, if you ever find yourself trying to explain something complicated to someone who's just not into it, remember Cantor. https://www.wired.com/story/book-excerpt-the-great-math-war/ #MathHumor #Infinity #Cantor #Church #Boredom
