The true identity of infinity

5 posts in this topic

I’m not sure how this fits into enlightenment, but there exists a very astounding result when you think about infinity:

 


"Not believing your own thoughts, you’re free from the primal desire: the thought that reality should be different than it is. You realise the wordless, the unthinkable. You understand that any mystery is only what you yourself have created. In fact, there’s no mystery. Everything is as clear as day. It’s simple, because there really isn’t anything. There’s only the story appearing now. And not even that.” — Byron Katie

Nothing about this is True. Remember that mathematics is a man-made concept.

@TheAvatarState But it surprises me that such a result exists (relatively speaking), and even more they use it in physics! A hard-nosed science. Now you can’t dismiss it as just abstraction.

@How to be wise Yes, it's interesting. Don't believe the math in that numberphile video though, it's incorrect (just look at the wiki link and other debunking videos on youtube). The answer is correct, but not in the simplistic way they showed, and not like you think. The y intercept on the graph on the wiki page is -1/12, and the area under the curve is also -1/12. Apparently these aren't by accident... It's definitely pointing to something. It looks like this infinite set is involved in computing the Casimir Effect in quantum field theory, which has applications in nanotechnology and potentially traversing wormholes.

The best mathematical analogue to God is Cantor's set theory and Godel's / Tarski's incompleteness theorems.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.
