Математиката, Кабалата и търсенето на безкрайността ... Между V и VI век пр. Хр. гърците стигат до идеята за безкрайността. Цялата концепция за нея е толкова поразителна и фантастична, че смущава философите и математиците, които я откриват, причинявайки болка, лудост и поне едно убийство. Кабалистите - еврейските мистици, стъпват здраво на концепцията за безкрайността, почти както гръцките философи и математици преди тях. Те са били наясно, че безкрайността съществува както като безкрайна колекция от несвързани обекти, така и като континуум. Но математическото разбиране и развиване на различните видове безкрайност е ... |
