The concept of infinity can be explored in various fields, such as mathematics and philosophy. In terms of mathematics, infinity is a boundless concept, which is larger than any and every number we can think of. In philosophy, it raises questions about the nature of existence and the universe. It was discussed philosophy as early as the ancient Greeks and in Mathematics during the 17th century.
I can’t remember who or when exactly in my life that I was introduced to the concept of infinity. Though it’s present in so much pop culture like movies, TV shows, and games. An example of it is in the movie Inception. The idea generally makes me feel uneasy.
I’ve always like the Penrose stairs – the artist MC Escher did an amazing job of bringing those and other visually paradoxical concepts to the public. I sometimes feel that general sense of unease when I look at his work!
