Infinity is really big. It's infinite. But what does it mean when an infinity is proved to be bigger than another? How can something infinite be bigger than something else that is also infinite? This video attempts to explore a fairly introductory, laymen understanding of mathematic infinity, and how trying to wrap our brains around endlessness can be just as endless.

I once told a joke about infinity never heard the end of it
I would tell you the end but it's a long story
Love it 🤣
Lol
Lol the story was too long
555 likes!! I don’t want to ruin it
That manager must have infinite complaints
A Communist this comment needs more likes
Infinite Karens
On the plus side, also infinite 5 star reviews on Yelp.
Lmao yea

“We are stuck in the dark of space with our numbers and no one but ourselves to translate”
Couldn’t be more true
When he said: generally we all know what infinity means
_My mind went blank for a moment_
😂😂👍
And what is mind
This comment is amazing.
That's Zen Buddhism bro, same as 'what is the sound of 1 hand clapping' or 'if a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it, does it make a sound' - you experienced the infinite consciousness of existence...just for a second...

I absolutely agreed. Pursuit Of Wonders is like a calm version of Kurzgesagt.

"Hungry" for knowledge? "Tired" of questions without answers? "Anxious" as to what those answers might be? Here's the key to understanding infinity. That which is LIMITED is IRRATIONAL by definition. Therefore, absolutely all numbers are irrational. And the very concept of numbers is actually irrational, because it is the concept OF limitation. On the other hand, infinity is complete and lacking nothing, which is the very definition of that which is RATIONAL. Our current experience is limited, and therefore irrational. And by definition, an irrational experience is INSANITY. The rational cannot be understood by the insane. And rational infinity has absolutely no relationship with numbers. Conclusion: infinity cannot be understood by finite minds. However, when the mind leaves insanity behind, infinity is experienced. Infinity can ONLY be experienced, and cannot be comprehended or explained by we who are experiencing limitation (insanity). Now, if you want all of the secrets of this Universe (that you will ultimately need to know), read my book.

When I was a kid, about 13 and younger I had dreams about the concept of infinity that mesmerized and horrified me. I’m not even sure what the content of the dreams were but I would wake up with the concept on my mind and just stuck with a feeling of something unknowable and unending hanging over me.
Similar thing happens to me!
Same, I had some weird fever dreams about numbers around that age. It was so overwhelming that it terrified me.
What? I'm so jealous. I wanna experience that too!!

that's very interesting. I wonder what it means.

As this is not a math channel, I came into this video thinking it wouldn't be an actual mathematical handling of the topic, at least not accurarely. I was wrong. You did an excellent job. Sounds like you stumbled upon the continuum hypothesis in your research (9:10)?
IMO, Infinity is the only thing that's truly real and foundational, everything else is a momentary disturbance within its unboundedness.
I think infinity is a nature. A force that everything follows under, because everything is infinite. I don't believe you can simply, or complexly, explain it at all.
There are limitations to vocal communication, yet no limitations to experiences. I haven't experienced infinity yet, and don't truly know if you can while still physically being. Yet I have a feeling that's indescribable to what it might be.
If everything is infinite as you say, that means your are experiencing infinity right now.
Yes, but at a lesser degree compared to the 'enlightened' beings. @@khanyisilebotshelo8362
Can we make an infinity hospital for all the patients during the pandemic?
so tired of all the same moronic virus comments, memes, etc. HERE'S MY ? : *Can the CoronaVirus Please Take out ALL these idiots posting this shit online??*
@@LemonChecks dude you're getting salty over memes on the internet

how tf do u expect people not to talk about it it’s a pandemic n it caused international havoc lol.. ofc there’s gonna be comments on it like lmao ur contradicting urself by commenting about it. well guess what there’s gonna be memes, jokes along with informational posts all over social media, fake news, stories, news reports etc. it’s everywhere.
sorry but people can’t act the way u want. the world can’t act the way u want. deal with it.
Probably not,coz all the shifting is gonna be a pain the ass
In that case we need infinite patience to fill up the Infinity rooms of the hospital😜

The only channel I'll cry over, if it goes off....... man ur GOOD
Thanks Pursuit Of Wonder always putting out thought provoking and polished videos. Keep up the good work!
You're my favorite channel at the moment, please post more often
where did you get footage for your clips, how long did you take to edit these?
It takes infinite hours
Stock footage.
So happy this channel has become so much more deeper than ever before!!! These thoughts & concepts of the universe in our reality remind me a ton about the DMT experience & if it takes you to our real form which could be infinity itself.
well put together, a true piece of art. Exactly sums up all the things that have crossed my mind about infinity while pondering about it as a kid.
The best way to start the day right before work.
Thank you, Pursuit Of Wonder!
8:51 this thought has been stuck in my mind for quite a while
yea, its weird i mean this world
It's also moderatly incorrect
It's such a delightful experience to watch your videos. Its food for thought and feast for eyes.
imagine being hired as the manager of this hotel
Unimaginable. Like infinity
Time to question my existance again this guy uploaded 😑
You mean the last week hasn't made you question existence?
One's existence can't be rationally questioned. ("I think therefore I am.") But one's sanity can be questioned. And here's the key to "understanding" infinity. That which is LIMITED is IRRATIONAL by definition. Therefore, absolutely all numbers are irrational. And the very concept of numbers is actually irrational, because it is the concept OF limitation.

I like the idea that infinity isn't "natural" because it means the Mind has created something that cannot exist and put rules to it then find practical applications for it. It would be something that only exists as a thought.
this is such a good video love watching you!
Your videos are so relaxing and interesting!
My head is f*cking spinning... I never in my life ever felt so awaken. This is mind blowing... Brooo wtf? Are you a wizard? Please tell me
Playah Ship lol try LSD it can go so much deeper than you thought imaginable.
@@baileydixon8960 Nah..DMT.
Jeremy Gross of course DMT is deeper. But I’m not trying to throw the man off the deep end his first time lol 😂
@@baileydixon8960 I shall try it and let you know the results brother. I want to awake out of this trapped system and see the freedom and trueness in the world. Thank you for looking out for me and others you have done good for. Although we have never met I know that we are all connected in some way. Safest journey to wherever you go. I'll let you know how lsd goes tho bro
Playah Ship of course man! I’m not trying to scare you and you already have an idea of what’s going to happen. True awakening though can be bittersweet...ignorance truly is bliss. The world can be a little mad after you wake up and it can be pretty confusing at first it seems like you’ve made a mistake and you’d be better off not knowing what you will know after you awake. It gets better though the ability to know what it’s like to be the other person or understand why some people suck or why things happen and it’s because they have no idea either so it can mess with you at first. It gets better though and it changed my life for the better I’m way more understanding and loving to everyone I meet because I felt that oneness that night and it stays with you for the rest of your life.
My brain hurts a bit. Thank you for the great content. Stay healthy everyone. Take care.
Really love these videos thanks for making them.
Just ordered one of those pursuit of wonder shirts, thanks for all you do here.
Infinity is an amazing thing. My mind breaks everytime thinking infinity is impossible and then asking how the universe or what is outside the universe can't be infinite. Same thing with time. How should everything just stop, I mean when nothing is happening time still goes by isn't it?
why am I watching persuit of Wonder at 2am knowing exactly I won't be able to sleep
If there's no matter to differenciate from a state or point in space from another, then time also doesn't exist
@@xKogue can you elaborate?
I clicked on this video thinking I would learn some profound life lesson instead I got a math class.

Awesome graphics man!
Thank godddd you made video on this topic
I really love your videos. And stoicism one is my favorite 😍
finally, a vid that didn't give me an existential crisis.
You are actually infinite in being, and can never cease to exist. "I think therefore I am." And once you discover exactly WHAT you are, you will understand that you can never STOP thinking, even if your limited body should die.

To me, the concept that we can somehow comprehend the concept of "infinity" is proof enough that we ourselves, as consciousnesses, are infinite beings capable of trascending our existence towards waking up with a true free will.
Yes, our bodies are mortal, and rarely able to exceed 8 decades of age, but our minds, our writtings, our presence, is something that trascends time itself, for after all, we are all one. Our minds will converge after the absolute end to wake up with absolute free will.
Well....apart from the fact that we
CANNOT comprehend Infinity and that we all die eventually your theory is fairly sound ...?
". Transcend our existence " ? !?
What does that even mean ? ?
I’m having a sesh right now this wil be perfect to watch no more soxial media it’s all corona talk
Nicely done! Mad props for the slide rule at 7:37.
Personally, I favor the platonist viewpoint, that numbers actually exist. I say this as someone with a lifelong interest in mathematics who went on to major and graduate in it. Of course, I respect opposing viewpoints, such as formalism and intuitionism; I'm just incautious.
In this video, you only consider cardinal arithmetic, in which we're only concerned with the numerousness of a set. In ordinal arithmetic, in which we also consider the order of the elements of a set, we actually can add one to infinity and get something new. In John Conway's surreal numbers, we can even take its square root and have it make sense!
Again, well done. I came here after a mention from Epic Math Time, and will be looking at some of your other videos, possibly even subscribing to your channel.
What a thought provoking video and subject. I am going to do a presentation on Hotel infinity so this video came right on time. Thanks!
How'd that pres go?

I love “The Pursuit of Wonder” and its continued excellence. As an end-of-life Doula, “Notes From The End Of Everything” struck a deep cord. While I’ve read it twice, I suspect I will be returning to it a few more times to come. I have a presentation coming up on end-of-life issues. If it’s OK with you, I certainly would like to highly recommend it. A most sincere and heartfelt thank you, on so many levels. Oh something wonderful is happening. I am so grateful to be on board in these times. Glad you’re here too. 🤗 Namasté, Mary
