CrowdScience: How Many Infinities Are There? (w/t)
After a previous episode about the relationship between mathematics and reality, we received a flood of profound and frankly, quite difficult questions. So we dive back into the world of maths, physics and philosophy to try and answer them.
How many infinities are there? Does quantum mechanics affect how I think? And why can I suddenly do algebra? As ever, we’re not afraid to tackle the big questions on CrowdScience.
A panel of experts helps us puzzle out: what quantum mechanics can teach us about the workings of the brain; whether there’s more than one kind of infinity and why it matters; and why one of our listeners surprised himself by being able to figure out equations he previously found unfathomable.
