So how big is infinite? | |
Pretty big. | |
OK. What if I walked over here? | |
Further than that. | |
Hmm. I think I will walk to the park, that seems like a long way. | |
I am pretty sure that park is not an infinite distance away. | |
I should measure it with a ball of string, that way I will know when I can measure infinity again if I want. | |
(gets string) | |
You will need a lot of string. You should start saving up. | |
OK, I am at the park. Hey, I can still see home from here. Are we at infinity yet? | |
Not really. | |
What if I walk to grandma’s house? That is a long, long way. Mum said. | |
I think you should ask your Mum to drive you there. You don’t want to get lost. | |
(car ride, runs out of string) | |
Wow, I am glad I got Mum to drive me. I ran out of string. That means that Grandma’s house is infinitely far from mine, right? | |
Sorry, it just means you ran out of string. | |
I am getting tired of this. How much further is infinity away? | |
Funny thing is that it is still infinitely further away. | |
I don’t like this game, any more. I think you are changing the rules. How can infinity minus the distance I have already travelled still be infinity? | |
I am not sure if it is the same infinity though. The thing about infinity is that it can have a start but it has no end. | |
So, “Infinity” is not really a number. It is more of an idea? | |
Now you are getting it! |
