Metaphysics of Infinity: The Problem of Motion and the Infinite Brain
ISBN: 9780761861461 / Angielski / Twarda / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the time of the Greek philosopher Zeno (fifth century BCE), our faculty of analytic understanding has failed to comprehend motion through the ages. The reason is the paradox or contradiction associated with motion. One fundamental contradiction is the conflict between the finite body and the infinite divisibility of the unit distance ab. Indeed, how is it possible to move from a to b if we must first pass through an infinite series of sub-distances in one instant? How can we traverse an unlimited series--a series without limit--yet reach its limit? Because the heart of the problem is...

They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now...
