| Popis: | The concept of infinity took centuries to achieve recognized status in the field of mathematics, despite the fact that it was implicitly present in nearly all mathematical endeavors. Here I explore the idea that a similar development might be warranted in physics . Several threads will be speculatively examined, including some involving nonstandard analysis . While there are intriguing possibilities, there also are noteworthy difficulties. |
