What shape is infinity?
The most obvious answer would be a circle, with an infinite number of sides, and also a infinite number of lines of symmetry.
A long line, stretching continuously as long as one does not give up, the moment he or she gives up, the line stops and disapears, leaving no trace of it behind.
People may argue that a line is not a shape, but as far knowledge goes, it is still a shape, a shape drawn by the fingertips of our hand.
Where do numbers end?
The infinite number will also be as far as you can go without giving up.
Also, even after this, if you just put a 10 and put the huge number as a power on top, the number will suddenly become even bigger.
What is nothing? What does nothing look like?
Some people, when they enter a newly built room, they say 'there's nothing here' without even stopping to think what the word 'nothing' actually means.
On earth, there is always gas, always sound, always some source of light.
In space, there may be no gas, but it will always look black, maybe even some speck of light, signalling another far away galaxy.
Anyone with better answers?
Thoughtful ideas, Rorry. I'm not sure that I do have better answers!
ReplyDeleteI think that nothing depends on the person who is saying it. For example if someone said 'there is nothing pretty here' then that would be their own personal take on the matter and someone else could think differently.
