Mathematician Explains Infinity in 5 Levels of Difficulty | WIRED
While the concept of infinity may seem mysterious, mathematicians have developed processes to reason the strange properties of infinity. Mathematician Emily Riehl has been challenged to explain infinity to 5 different people; a child, a teen, a college student, a grad student, and an expert.

I don’t like logarithmic proof (not saying there aren’t more reals than integers, but it’s a feeling not proof). On one side of this proof are integers like 1,2,3,4… on the other side are reals as digits and for the creation a new number we change one digit of each number… So integers have infinite digits too (zeros before number – aka …0000001 as simple 1) and we can give integers on side of reals and integers will be uncountable… Other sight is on side of integers we choose not 1,2,3,4… but 1,10,100,1000… in this case we can create new reals but also integers too, and intuitively the same amount…
Logarithmic proof can’t prove identity, this is the same as in non-absolut convergent series, we can’t change order of elements, because we can change the sum of series.
Integers against reals have one weaknes… for integers exist base 1

while she explains very well, she made a fatal mistake at some point.
It is very dangerous to admit Infinity as a number. You don’t do algebra with infinity, you only talk about limits. A side effect of allowing Infinity to be a number is to also admit that division by 0 is acceptable ; and at this point, you could prove, fallaciously, that 1 = 2

There are plenty of contexts in which you can have a notion of number with infinite value. Cardinal numbers, ordinal numbers, hyperreal numbers, supernatural numbers, surreal numbers, etc. all have some notion of infinite-valued number. They’re valid concepts, but you have to understand that these types of numbers don’t necessarily behave the same way as other types of numbers you’re familiar with.

Concept of infinity is far to close to religion – in general it is just simplification of unknown. This video show it very clear, when child knows the topic pretty much as good as adults it is never a good sign. I hope someone will invent better/more useful concept for this problem.

These are explanations, but don’t make it any more clear in reality. That is, all positive integers will always seem smaller set than all integers because I can surely done a one-to-one mapping of all the positive integers in both sets, and will clearly have more unmapped on the 0 and negative integers.
Zain Majumder
January 31, 2023 at 12:40 am
First, a clarification: the mapping that we are looking for is called a “bijection”. First, the mapping needs to be one-to-one (each natural number gets mapped to its own element). Second, the mapping needs to be onto (no elements are unmapped to). So the example that you gave is one-to-one but not onto.
Two sets are defined to have the same cardinality if at least one bijection between them exists. I can demonstrate with two finite sets:
Set 1: {A, B, C, D}
Set 2: {E, F, G, H}
Obviously, the bijection {A -> E, B -> F, C -> G, D -> H} exists, so the sets have the same cardinality. But other mappings exist which are not bijections. For example, {A -> E, B -> E, C -> E, D -> E} is a valid mapping which meets neither of the qualifications for being a bijection. It doesn’t matter though, since we already found a bijection. We can just ignore the second mapping because we already know that set 1 and set 2 have the same cardinality. The same idea works for infinite sets. Since the video gave an example of a bijection, we know the set of positive integers and the set of all integers have the same cardinality, and mappings like the one that you gave do not change this fact.

Seems completely intuitive to me that infinity + ‘whatever’ is simply infinity. That is what infinity is.
An interesting one to me is Infinity – Infinity. This seems to me to be a kind of inverted infinity, infinitely nothing, if you will.
I see it as the undefined on one side, and infinite possibility on the other, and definition somewhere in between, at a point to be defined, aka, relativity.
That is what N, Z, and Q, seems to be, they are this definition, they are quantization. A ‘let there be light’ if you will.

So we construct successive larger cardinalities by taking power sets but that seems like a clearly countable process right? You have a starting point of Aleph_0 and have a procedure for generating a set with cardinality Aleph_n+1 which you can take to a limit of Aleph_ ω or something which is unreachable (but maybe not actually a cardinal). What are these supposed unreachable infinite cardinalities and why does she think there are uncountably many?

Such a blessing to have the second expert come on and give her take on the philosophical property of these games we play. The examples we use to explain infinity to young people and novices are so palpably absurd it drives me crazy.
I wish I understood the terms and concepts she used in her conversation with the PhD student, so I could get a sense of whether the nonsense continues into the more complex games that professional mathematicians play on infinity.
It seems to me, as an amateur clearly, as if we are constructing layer upon layer of math upon a concept of infinity that is too narrow to begin with. Or perhaps ill conceived. It seems trivial to me to point out the flaws in several of the simple games. Like the explanation for why the set of natural numbers and integers are the same size, or the conjecture that 1+1/2+1/4+1/8… =2. Even that 1+infinity somehow equals infinity.
It is “counterintuitive” because it is wrong… Yet of course, a broken clock is right twice a day, and these constructions clearly have practical applicability.

Not being a math geek, let alone a methematician, my instinct was to conflate (or compare) a lot of infinity talk with conjuring a god-of-the-gaps of mathematics. I’m content to say that I’m not smart or knowedgeable enough, though, for this to be my belief.

This was stupid and theoretical. I like the idea of this, but I disagree with a lot. It’s obviously more theory than fact. Infinite vs infinite isn’t the same as 0=0 and the fact they don’t get that or explain it well was depressing and made me upset also infinite is not always the same as infinite and if you don’t get that your not a expert on infinity. She seemed nervous the whole time, and like she was parroting her textbook and not thinking.

It seems like you only understood up to the teenager level, which is totally fine! Professor Riehl’s use of infinity at that level was a “white lie” so to speak because she didn’t want to go into too many of the details of what specific type of infinity she was talking about on a level 2 explanation.

And thus began, after that fateful day on the school playground at recess, the journey to search for the answer, the Last and Final Word, the ultimate comeback of all combacks that ever existed, an argument with an infinity bigger than any infinity out there, an infinity so great that it would transcend time and space and crush this argument to smithereens.

A finite set divided by an infinite set equals infinity. Anything divided by Infinity equals infinity. There are greater and lesser infinities. A lesser infinity has an infinite amount of time to catch up to a greater infinity. But then, this needs a description of time.

One interesting aspect of what Elliot said about Projective Space, that parallel lines will intersect at point of infinity: I had a very big argument in my geometry class with my professor about that aspect, because I gave an presentation about that topic.
I argued, that it isnt a great description to say, parallel lines would intersect at infinity, because it disguises what happes really mathematically. So what happens?
You expand your normal space of points => You look at all lines in the geometric space and ADD their direction as an attribute as new points in the space: et voila, you get your projective space with additional points 🙂
Each line in the space now has an additional point, which is “lying” on that line: the direction of that line!
So when two parallel lines (ergo hey have the same direction) are intersecting each other, it means, they have a common point: their direction.
Projective space allows you to add attribute of geometric objects to the space itself, so you can let object like lines intersect in an shared attribute.
A real life example would be: in physics two seperate objects dont share any particle, like two humans. But if you now add attributes of a human per definition to the set of particles, you get new “physics”. Like person A and B have the same gender. Now they share a “physical particle”: their gender. 😀
I always found, that its more confusing to talk about “infinity” in this context.
BUT: I had my class many, many years ago and I am not sure, if I remember it correctly.
So I am open for correction in my argumentation 🙂 🙂 🙂

This question isn’t that easy.
If you’d asked a measure theorist, he would say there are both the same size.
If you’d asked a topologists, he would say no.
Because you find elements in { {Z }/ {N}} except of { } such as {-1}. So Z is larger than N for at least 1 element.

infinity makes me cry. just think about it.
even if you believe in reincarnation, there will be a last cohesive thought. mathematicians love studying infinity when applied to the world, but it simply does not exist. when applied to humans, there is no infinity. the universe is never infinite and every single creature that has ever existed will eventually die. the last cohesive thought will either be the realization of fate or the will to survive, and once we all realize that there is no infinite, we can accept the fact that humanity will never exist compared to infinity. there is no infinity amount of time. there is no infinite human.
There is no infinity.

You lost my math brain talking to he teenager: I didn’t do much in the way of high school math. BUT, you got me back on again when talking to the expert about the philosophy of math, because I was a philosophy student in university. There could potentially be infinite infinities, because, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, that goes on forever. But ALSO, 1, 1.1, 1.01, 1.001, just keep adding zeros, THAT goes on forever, but ALSO, 1, 1.1, 1.10, 1.100, keep adding zeros on the other end, THAT goes on forever, but again, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, just keep adding numbers, and you can keep doing all of those patterns forever. I don’t know if it’s so much about how many kinds of infinity there are so much as it’s about how and whether they function, because you’ll start to get ino the realm in which numbers no longer have utility. There’s also spatial infinity–see Zeno’s Paradox. But with ANY kind of infinity, it’s infinite because you could always add another division on either end of the thing. But THAT, still, is only infinite WITHIN itself. What about outside of itself? Well, now you’ve really thrown the doors open. I, for example, the Universe is infinite, and, to my knowledge, while unimaginably large, since it’s EXPANDING, then no, it’s not infinite, but then, what is it expanding into? I don’t mean “What form will it take?” I mean, “What’s the thing outside of the Universe into which it is expanding itself?” Space outside space, in other words. But that’s now into astrophysics, and if you think THIS is idiotic, you should see me around physics. I like it, though: I like feeling stupid in this regard, because it means that my brain-Universe still has space to grow out into.

Infinity means all- infinite glitter means you can’t anything else so so no bottles. An infinite hotel has no people that would place a limit on it- it has no limit. Once you have infinite integers, integers cease to make sense henceforth there are the same number of integer as real numbers because the integers become real numbers. . Mathematican fails on logic.

@Mark Smith we’re not talking about infinite as a number. It’s a property of a set. And a set is infinite if it’s not finite. Both the set of natural numbers and the set of real numbers are infinite, but you can’t pair them up. There are simply too many real numbers

Hilbert’s Hotel is inherently flawed because there is an assumption that there is a starting point. Infinity, by definition, can’t have a starting point. If you were to start at hotel room #1, you would also need to have hotel room #-1 directly adjacent to it and counting backwards into infinity as well, meaning you cannot vacate starting with just the one room. You are essentially creating a flawed theory in this example. We do the same with numbers, thinking that the #1 is our starting point for counting. But wherever there is a 1, there is a -1, and so on and so forth for every number that you could possibly conceptualize.

When you mention “intutition” you are talking about where people with zero advanced mathematical understanding begin. To state that infinity is the same size for integers and natural numbers requires the ignoring of “time” per calculation. ie, at any given interval you will always have less of the integer set calculated than the natural number set.
I’m stuck at the idea that if you calculate every second in parallel on two identical machines, after 1,000,000 seconds you have 0->999,999 natural numbers as well as integers, but we know that integers would also include -999,999->0, so that same caluculation is less complete of a definition of the full set.
This just appears as a parlour trick since you can handwave away the line or set with “well, …infinity” on both to magically make up the time needed for those to be equivalent, when integers would effectively require double the calculation time to have the same fraction of the set represented. The grammar school trick of saying “infinity + 1 > infinity” is that intuition that wherever machine_1 is at calculating a set towards infinity, some other machine could be 1 step ahead.
And so, intuitively it is absurd to assert the infinity referring to the number of integers is “the same” as the infinity of the number of real numbers when one of those sets necessarily has more datapoints within them. It seems like a category error to me, where infinity is representative of “everything” or “endless process” which ignores what the product of that process is at any point along the currently calculated set.
If you replace infinity with “if you count forever”, or perhaps more accurately “you could count forever and never reach a conclusion” that is adding a new variable of time to the mix, and two machines in parallel cannot have counted the same fraction of those sets. And so it is no surprise that the light at the end of the tunnel is “philosophical” (placeholder to mean non-quantified) and out of the realm of quantification/logic. So the end folds on itself where the discussion about “sizes of infinity” because any attempt to practically calculate it is met with a limit to how complete those sets could be at any interval. There are an infinite number of real numbers between 0 and 1, there are an infinite number of integers, there are an infinite number of natural numbers. Yes, those are all equal but due to this category error of process and product I’m not grasping how they could ever contain the “same accuracy” regarding set definition.

if we apply the 3x+1 conjecture to infinity it will give us infinity, no matter how much we divide or multiply it, right? (I believe that the 3x+1 conjecture does not apply to infinity, since we do not know if it is even or odd, but in both ways it would be infinite, because being multiplied or divided it will remain infinite)
Tomas
March 21, 2023 at 3:28 pm
We actually know if it’s even or odd. It’s neither. The property of being even or odd is only defined for integers and ‘infinity’ (whatever you might mean with it) is not an integer

Das bedingt, dass es für die Quantenphysik Zusatzforderungen geben muss, um sich ihrer mathematisch nähern zu können, denn aus mathematischer Sicht sind die Zustände der Quantenphysik Grenzwerte und die müssen physikalisch sinnvoll sein, sie dürfen also nicht außerhalb des Vektorraumes liegen, und daher reichen die Forderungen für endlichdimensional ( Vektorraum mit Skalarprodukt ) auch nicht aus. Der Vektorraum muss zusätzlich vollständig sein, was heißt, dass rationalen Zahlen erweitert werden müssen durch die irrationalen Zahlen, sodass die Zustände, die man bekommt, sich innerhalb des Vektorraum befinden und über die Cauchy-Konvergenz kann man sich dem gut nähern finde ich. Darüber hinaus muss der Vektorraum separabel sein, was – hier nur vereinfacht – ausgerückt meint, dass es ein unendlich ist, das aber noch handlebar ist. Dazu ist es notwendig, dass die Eigenwertzustände eine Basis des Vektorraum sind, was bedeutet, dass alle möglichen Zustände darstellbar seien als Linearkombinationen.
Unendlich war auch eben die Woge meiner Maternalinklination, als ich die mir unbekannte Zuckerschnute erblickte, die da den Kontrapunkt zu Ben Shapiro bildete… …natürlich überlegen in Semantik und Rhetorik und Ätiologie… …weshalb ich hier noch mal meinen Adoptionsvakanz indizieren möchte, damit das hier nach dieser unerträglichen Unendlichkeit bald endet…

This is confusing to me if the universe is expanding that means it can get bigger if it can get bigger it hasn’t reached it complete capacity yet for infinity to exist it needs infinite space space is expanding forever even forever is not infinite eventually in the far future even space itself will die out because of entropy entropy too will die out after the universe can’t get any more distorted .so space can’t have infinity .infinity is just a concept that doesn’t exist didn’t exist and will never exist in the universe.stars also looks infinite to the human eye because u can’t see everything stars are not infinite they rapidly increase if something can increase it means it has more space to expand into which also mean it has a limit if space itself is expanding and will stop things inside it can’t be infinite or forever cells dust atoms particles radiation light nothing is infinite it’s just a concept that doesn’t exist.it only “exists” mathematically even when your “showing” infinity as a number it can’t be shown because it doesn’t exist the only way u can kind of “show” infinity is with a line above the number that’s “infinite”

N = Natural numbers, counting numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4….. }, W = Natural number and zero = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …..} Even a mathematician used these terms incorrectly, which is why so many students/people are so confused…
a – a => cancel = 0, x/x = cancel = 1…. but 0 is not 1, hence “cancel” is misused…
That’s my forever rant!

I disagree with the speaker about integers and natural numbers being the same size infinite set. The integers are clearly a larger infinite set than the natural numbers. The fact that you can always find matching numbers for both sets is irrelevant. All natural numbers are integers but not all integers are natural numbers. Therefore, integers are a larger infinite set than natural numbers.
ExtravagantPanda
April 3, 2023 at 1:41 pm
The fact that you can always find matching numbers for both sets is not irrelevant, it is the literal definition of two sets having the same size. You can take issue with the mathematical definition, but you can’t deny that, in the mathematical context of this video, it is 100% factual to say that the set of integers and the set of natural numbers have the same size. Doing so is like saying 1+1 does not equal 2 because you don’t agree with the “standard” rules of addition.

There are notions that of late
I have come to often berate
I have no affinity
For that there infinity
It’s big, but it just isn’t great
I know that this could cause friction
With those who saver this fiction
But there is no infinity
In nature’s vicinity
We must rehab this insane addiction
Nothing goes on for ever and ever
Pretending it does just isn’t clever
Because we can trim it
We don’t need the limit
And connections to this we must sever
Let’s just say “Finity” and sow a seed
To do away with extension greed
Mathematics lumbers
With irrational numbers
But the rationals are all that we need
If as Mathematicians might well have feared
All irrational numbers just disappeared
Much as they might want-um.
Life stops at the quantum
Engineers and scientists? They cheered
If the fiction goes on to persist
And Mathematicians choose to resist
Seek fundamentals
With transcendentals
Because Infinity, does not, exist

One of the things that caught me off-guard when a friend said it to me, was „some infinities are bigger than others“. Like WHAT? But it makes sense. There is an infinite number of whole numbers (or what do you call them? Like 1, 2, 3, 4, etc). But there is an even bigger infinity of decimals like 1,1 ; 1,2 ; etc.
ExtravagantPanda
April 10, 2023 at 10:48 am
That’s a bit misleading. It’s true that some “infinities” (i.e. infinite sets) are larger than others, but if you’re talking about integers and decimals, it’s specifically the “real” numbers (or just the irrational numbers) that is larger, i.e. decimals with infinitely many digits. The integers are actually exactly the same size as the set of rational numbers (decimals with only finitely many digits or infinitely many repeating digits, e.g. 1.1 or 1.11111111…). It’s very unintuitive.

I think it’s stupid, doing science just for doing science. Infinity doesn’t exist in the nature, the infinite hotel doesn’t exist. If they admit it’s abstract, like poetry, and mathematics foundations are made up by them, why do they teach it their students? You don’t “teach” students poems because it’s just one way of expression, nothing universal. Why do they keep digging? For what?
Tomas
April 17, 2023 at 8:15 am
It’s quite common in mathematics to research some seemingly meaningless abstract concept and to find a useful application for it years later. Understanding infinite sets is quite important to formalize many areas of mathematics. A good example is calculus and that’s a very powerful tool

One time I was teaching some first graders about the concept of infinity with 2 other highschool seniors for a pi night thing for our math honors society. One of the girls I was working with told them that there is nothing bigger than infinity. After we finished our presentation and were getting ready to leave, a little first grade boy came up to me and asked about omega plus infinity. Absolutely baffled me that he has so much as heard of that.
Robert Nunez
April 28, 2023 at 1:47 pm
I still don’t understand how you can manipulate a concept like infinity like you can a number. Infinity is not a number. It’s a concept. How can you add two infinities…. if by infinite you mean everything? If by infinity you mean EVERYTHING then you couldn’t possibly have two infinities in the first place. One would subsume the other, right? Because if you have two separate infinities then you didn’t have one in the first place. What am I missing here?
ExtravagantPanda
April 29, 2023 at 11:23 am
Infinite does not mean “everything”. In this context it simply means an infinite set, i.e. a set that does not have a finite number of members, such as the set of all positive integers {1, 2, 3, …} or the set of all integer multiples of 3: {0, 3, -3, 6, -6, …}. Both of these sets are infinite but are clearly different sets; there’s nothing wrong with “having” two infinite sets at the same time.
And you cannot add infinity or do any other arithmetic operations with it (not typically anyway, though sometimes in math the real numbers are extended to include infinity, but you have to explicitly define what it means to add/subtract/etc.). They weren’t being very rigorous in this explanation when they said that infinity * 2 = infinity. Really what they should have said is that, if A and B are infinite sets of the same “cardinality” (the same size, basically), then the union of A and B (analogous to A + B) is also an infinite set of that same cardinality.

6th level of understanding
Infinity has interesting characteristics, but infinity cannot be understood conceptually directly because concepts, by definition, are finite. These interesting characteristics of infinity are just that: characteristics of infinity but not infinity itself. Only the infinite can know the infinite.
Thoughts are concepts. Concepts limit. Concepts tell us what something isn’t. They are an attempt to break down reality into what it is not in order to understand what it is, but by understand what something isn’t cannot get us fully to what something is. It can give us a better understanding of what it is, but can never, by definition, give us a direct experience of it.
In order to understand infinity you have to release all thoughts and concepts. This can be done through mindful meditation. While it may take some practice, millions of infinite consciousnesses localized in human forms, aka humans, have known infinity.
You can, too.

If infinity is the universe and the universe as a whole equals mathematics as the numbers that follow up the next be it fibonacci sequence or reciprocal in decimal there is virtually nothing too big, bigger or biggest/small, smaller or smallest to name in words.

It’s just as hard to imagine the Universe as being finite as infinite.

You can fill empty space completely with just circles without overlapping… would experiencing that might come across as … inflation / dark energy? :]

Great discussion covering all the interesting branches of mathematics that must contend with concept of infinity.

there is something I still don’t understand about Cantor’s theorem
you said you can create this new number
but so what ?
then this new number we add to the list
so this process of creating new numbers which weren’t in the list yet, just keeps on going forever
nothing more
but that doesn’t mean it’s not in the list
it just means that this process of creating new numbers never stops
but this is the same for numbers
if I ask you give me the digits Pi consists of … it also will take you forever to telling me what exactly pi is
here this creation of new numbers lasts forever
I see no difference
where is the difference ??

I disagree on concept of the infinite numbers of infinities of different cardinalities. The infinity is only one. Also if we listed all numbers between 0 and 1, there would be no room to find a new number not already listed.

Infinity is growing. To something really large or really small. No limit.
Like the universe.
It is an approximation.
