The Coin and The Paper: A Thought Experiment Proving Eternality
In this pivotal episode, Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander presents Section 3 of "Axiom of Necessity," where he introduces a powerful thought experiment designed to break the logical impasse of infinite regress.
He invites the listener to imagine a coin on a vast sheet of paper, a simple analogy that reduces complex cosmology to its essential logic.
The coin represents any bounded system—our universe, a singularity, a particle—and the circle drawn around it is the boundary of our scientific inquiry.
Dr. Alexander demonstrates that to claim nothing exists outside this circle is a profound category error, as a boundary cannot exist without a medium.
This leads to two inexorable conclusions: that finitude is an illusion of perspective, and that an eternal, uncreated substrate is a logical necessity, not a speculation.
This thought experiment forces the mind to acknowledge that a truly finite universe is impossible.
