You must have a gift - if that were in a book, I would have closed it at the 2nd paragraph!<br />I see though that your curiosity got the better of you and you chose to read this book first!<br />'predsk'veiledturnipnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474627686283911965.post-1883443033024990782010-04-08T01:17:10.209+10:002010-04-08T01:17:10.209+10:00I was with you right up to transfinities, at which...I was with you right up to transfinities, at which point I metaphorically threw up my hands(or my mind's hands, as it were), and said "to hell with it." Still, a fascinating little post, spicey in a nerdlinger kind of way, bold, yet not too presumptuous, all in all, a fine thing.<br /><br />Some time try explaining a tesseract to a six year old.

I understood all the words but I have no idea what you just said.<br /><br />On the other hand, if I nodded sagely and said, "Ah yes, that reminds me of Balthazar Bunkum, the 19th century mathematician, who proposed the theory of blahdiblah points in a transfinite circle that rhubarb rhubarb infinity to the power of transfinity (carry the one)..." you'd probably decide we can't be friends after all so maybe it's just as well...Emily Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07296959621939970413noreply@blogger.com
