Infinity is pervasive across all branches of modern mathematics, but it wasn’t always this way. This is a condensed, paradox-filled tour of our history with infinity. From Zeno’s paradox to Russell’s paradox, this video touches upon the importance of infinity in mathematics and how after millenia, it appears that we’ve finally managed to get a grip on the slippery concept.
