It’s really good to see so many openly feminist extremely famous women out there now – Kristen Stewart, Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Watson among them.
You might not think it matters (but you’re wrong). These “mere actresses” like it or not are thought leaders and will influence many millions of women and men who pay attention to them.
All ya’ll who read this blog might like to take a peek at my link blog. It’s very wide-ranging and updated with fresh, piping hot links many times a day, usually.
And that’s about all the PR muscle I have in me.
It is possible for something to be infinite but not exhaustive — for instance, the set 1, 3, 5….
That is infinite, but does not contain any even numbers. No matter how hard you look in the sequence it will not contain a 2 or a 2,014 for that matter.
Infinite non-exhaustive sets are a naive mistake people make when they say something like, “If the universe if infinite, there must be another me out there!”
Well, not necessarily.
It is also possible to search an infinite space in finite time. I’m glad he gave a non-topo explanation. I tried to read the topo explanation years ago and couldn’t make heads nor tails of it.
And of course there are countable and uncountable infinities. An easy way of distinguishing between them is to think that if you put the infinities in a room full of an infinite number of chairs (natural numbers) and asked every member present to sit down at once, would everyone always be able to find a chair?
If no, then that infinity is uncountable — such as the real numbers, which are indeed uncountably infinite. For example, the number of elements in the set 0,1 is 2. The number of elements between 0 and 1 is uncountably infinite.
So that is infinity. Or all that I feel like writing about at the moment. If I were an aspiring mystic, though, I’d concentrate on infinity. It’s where reality, rationality and pure insanity all meet up.
