Kindle Notes & Highlights
Even the best artists could not draw a realistic scene. They did not know how to use the power of zero.
What the hell is this? How a perspective is a power of 0? What a terrible parabole.
It is no coincidence that zero and infinity are linked in the vanishing point. Just as multiplying by zero causes the number line to collapse into a point, the vanishing point has caused most of the universe to sit in a tiny dot.
Mumbling
However, by putting this limit sign in front of a series, you separate the process from the goal. In this way you avoid manipulating infinities and zeros. Just as Achilles’ sub-races are each finite, each partial sum in a limit is finite.
What is going on? Are we going with the 0s again? Oh, please One save me!
