The Infinity Crisis

Think of a piece of Jell-O, hanging out there, jiggling on a table. You obviously don’t picture it as being made of atoms; you just think it’s a continuum of uhh…Jell-O stuff. You think it’s infinitely subdivisible and has no gaps. It’s what the most of us (at least the normal ones out there) think stuff really is like. So what is continuity? It is the idea that if you take a line, you can cut it in half, and then in half, and then in half again, and you’ll always have a line and you never stop, you just keep dividing stuff forever. Do you come across stuff like this in reality? Can you just take a rope and cut it in half forever? Welp, a piece of rope is not continuous…in fact no piece of matter is continuous. We do know that it’s made by individual pieces called molecules… or atoms… or electrons… or quarks. However this is not the continuity which is questionable. It is the continuity of space itself, not of matter. If you consider the space between your hands and divide it in half, can you go on forever? <a href="https://medium.com/@nidsahni2006/the-infinity-crisis-138c4f04adb7">Learn More</a>
