Early Greek Philosophy and Other Essays-Friedrich Nietzsche
H
118:10Hugh McGuireNARRATOR
Therefore, the individuals in antiquity were freer because their aims were nearer and more tangible.
H
118:18Hugh McGuireNARRATOR
Modern man, on the contrary, is everywhere hampered by infinity, like the fleet-footed Achilles in the allegory of the Iliad Zeno.
H
118:29Hugh McGuireNARRATOR
Infinity impedes him.
H
118:31Hugh McGuireNARRATOR
He does not even overtake the tortoise.
H
118:34Hugh McGuireNARRATOR
But as the youths to be educated were brought up struggling against one another, so their educators were in turn in emulation amongst themselves.
Rational Quantum Mechanics and the Qubit Ceiling with Tim Palmer

And a continuum is just one over, and, you know, it's an infinitesimal, it's one over infinity, so it's...

Episode 30 - "Is infinity a number?"
S
15:55Steve CrossHOST
you not having finished your thesis thanks steve thanks steve
C
15:58Christabel CaneHOST
Infinity does give birth to all of the other things, but that's still kind of like weird and messy and shameful in the ancient Greek conception.
C
16:08Christabel CaneHOST
Remember that the virtue ethicists prize order and temperance.
C
16:11Christabel CaneHOST
The best virtue is temperance.
S
16:13Steve CrossHOST
Infinity is not temperance.
S
16:14Steve CrossHOST
It's not temperance, is it? You can't come up with any system where that's in the middle of two axes.
S
16:18Steve CrossHOST
By definition, it's always going to be far over on one end.

For more information or to volunteer, please visit LibriVox.org. Recording by Landon D.C. Alkind at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa The Problem of Infinity Considered Historically It will be remembered that, when we enumerated the grounds upon which the reality of the sensible world has been questioned, one of those mentioned was the supposed impossibility of infinity and continuity.
L
331:53Landon D. C. ElkindNARRATOR
In view of our earlier discussion of physics, it would seem that no conclusive empirical evidence exists in favor of infinity or continuity in objects of sense or in matter.

Elkind at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa The Positive Theory of Infinity The positive theory of infinity and the general theory of number to which it has given rise are among the triumphs of scientific method in philosophy, and are therefore specially suitable for illustrating the logical analytic character of that method.

The work in this subject has been done by mathematicians, and its results can be expressed in mathematical symbolism.

This time with a Stanley Weinbaum story, copyright 1936 by Better Publications Incorporated.

Entitled, The Brink of Infinity.

One would hardly choose the life of an assistant professor of mathematics at an eastern university as an adventurous one.
M
3:04Michael HansonHOST
Professors in general are reputed to drone out a quiet scholarly existence.

There weren't any other possibilities.

I'd exhausted all of them in hour after hour of miserable conjecture.
M
29:57Michael HansonHOST
So I asked, Is the expression the one you're thinking of? Infinity minus infinity? It was.

Infinity.

You remember the angel who looks like this, square root of minus one.

109:52Patricia OakleyNARRATOR
How many can pass through the room before it is all eaten up? The answer to that is an infinite number.
P
110:01Patricia OakleyNARRATOR
Infinity does not mean any particular number, or a very large number.
P
110:07Patricia OakleyNARRATOR
It means a loosened chain, a discarded hypothesis, escape from the rule we were working under.
運動を続けたくなる環境づくり ゲスト:矢野耕二さん
石
10:29石田HOST
そうですよね。効果が出たとしても、やっぱ同じ行動というかね、同じエクササイズでば飽きてしまいますもんね。
矢
10:35矢野耕二GUEST
そうです、そうです。で、それで例えば股関節一つに対してのエクササイズにしても、やっぱりこう、バリエーションをいくつ持てるかっていうところがすごく大事で、そのバリエーションを持たせるところの助けになるのが、例えば器具であったりだとか、あの、負荷とかであったりするので、そういった掛け合わせをやっていくと無限大だし、あと道具だけじゃなくて楽しさの要素を入れるだとか、そういった工夫っていうのは、同じ股関節のエクササイズとかにしたとしてもすごく大事じゃないかなと思います。
石
11:13石田HOST
なるほど。実際にプログラムを監修、監修って言い方おかしいですね。プログラムを管理してるのは矢野さんと、あとスタッフの方と一緒に管理されてる感じなんですかね。
矢
11:25矢野耕二GUEST
基本的にはあの、やったこととかはみんなで共有するようにしているので、そこを、あの、まあ指名のお客さんがいればずっと担当が同じにつく場合もあるんですけど、指名じゃない場合もあるので、常に何をやったかとか、そういったログっていうのは残しているので。あとはまあ、これどういう目的でやったのとかは常に聞くようにしましょうねっていうことで、内部では一応話はしてますけど。
The science behind mass flow measurement and Coriolis flowmeters
J
27:13Jesse YoderGUEST
Just take that and put it in your fiction book.
J
27:16Jesse YoderGUEST
Infinity is a mathematical fiction, and by the rope experiment, I can prove basically that the circumference of a circle is rational.
J
27:28Jesse YoderGUEST
We can measure it.
J
27:29Jesse YoderGUEST
We start by specifying the unit of measurement.

Yeah, everyone's doing learning stuff.

So why don't you tell me about your first Infinity game?
R
17:06RyanHOST
Sure thing.
R
17:06RyanHOST
So the first game of the day was Against, and I...
R
17:11RyanHOST
Don't recall ever actually getting his proper name.
R
17:14RyanHOST
So I will just use the D or the Discord handle.
R
17:17RyanHOST
So I gave Zion his third game of Infinity, still kind of working through mechanics and orb operations and going through just how the game changes and stuff.
R
17:32RyanHOST
He decided after two games that Ariadne was not his speed and So I let him use the Pan-O models I had, and I just used a dumb Drew's list I had laying around.
