Description
What is infinity? What does it mean? Different contexts provide different interpretations from Melville’s presence of the infinite in the common place to spooky burps and vacuum fluctuations to infinite chains of finite causes, from Noh Drama to transfinite cardinals. This is an interdisciplinary discussion of visions, a jeu d’espirit providing a partial panorama of infinity.
