Infinity Explained: Paradoxes, Math, and the Infinite Universe


Listen Later

What happens when you check into a hotel with infinite rooms—all already occupied—and still get a key? Welcome to the mind-blowing world of infinity. In this episode of Science Deep Dive, we take you on a fascinating journey from ancient philosophy to cutting-edge mathematics, exploring the paradoxes, puzzles, and real-world implications of infinity.

From Hilbert’s Hotel to the Banach-Tarski Paradox, from fractals to black holes, and from algorithmic loops to multiverse theories, infinity shows up in places both profound and practical. You’ll learn why some infinities are bigger than others, why physicists both fear and rely on it, and how it shapes everything from calculus to cosmology.


Whether you're a curious learner or a hardcore math geek, this episode will stretch your imagination and maybe even your understanding of the universe itself. Buckle up—this one goes on forever. Literally.
