Infinity and the Mind: The Science and Philosophy of the Infinite

In Infinity and the Mind, Rudy Rucker leads an excursion to that stretch of the universe he calls the "Mindscape," where he explores infinity in all its forms: potential and actual, mathematical and physical, theological and mundane. Rucker acquaints us with Gödel's rotating universe,...

Zusammenfassung:	In Infinity and the Mind, Rudy Rucker leads an excursion to that stretch of the universe he calls the "Mindscape," where he explores infinity in all its forms: potential and actual, mathematical and physical, theological and mundane. Rucker acquaints us with Gödel's rotating universe, in which it is theoretically possible to travel into the past, and explains an interpretation of quantum mechanics in which billions of parallel worlds are produced every microsecond. It is in the realm of infinity, he maintains, that mathematics, science, and logic merge with the fantastic. By closely examining the paradoxes that arise from this merging, we can learn a great deal about the human mind, its powers, and its limitations. Using cartoons, puzzles, and quotations to enliven his text, Rucker guides us through such topics as the paradoxes of set theory, the possibilities of physical infinities, and the results of Gödel's incompleteness theorems. His personal encounters with Gödel the mathematician and philosopher provide a rare glimpse at genius and reveal what very few mathematicians have dared to admit: the transcendent implications of Platonic realism

Princeton University Press [2004] © 2004 368pages) illustrations txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Princeton Science Library Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (ACM, viewed April 03 2015) In Infinity and the Mind, Rudy Rucker leads an excursion to that stretch of the universe he calls the "Mindscape," where he explores infinity in all its forms: potential and actual, mathematical and physical, theological and mundane. Rucker acquaints us with Gödel's rotating universe, in which it is theoretically possible to travel into the past, and explains an interpretation of quantum mechanics in which billions of parallel worlds are produced every microsecond. It is in the realm of infinity, he maintains, that mathematics, science, and logic merge with the fantastic. By closely examining the paradoxes that arise from this merging, we can learn a great deal about the human mind, its powers, and its limitations. Using cartoons, puzzles, and quotations to enliven his text, Rucker guides us through such topics as the paradoxes of set theory, the possibilities of physical infinities, and the results of Gödel's incompleteness theorems. His personal encounters with Gödel the mathematician and philosopher provide a rare glimpse at genius and reveal what very few mathematicians have dared to admit: the transcendent implications of Platonic realism In English Ensembles, Théorie des Infini Infinite Logic, Symbolic and mathematical Logique symbolique et mathématique Mathematics, other Mathematics Mathematik Set theory PHILOSOPHY / Metaphysics bisacsh Mathematik (DE-588)4037944-9 gnd rswk-swf Transfinite Zahl (DE-588)4471005-7 gnd rswk-swf Logik (DE-588)4036202-4 gnd rswk-swf Philosophie (DE-588)4045791-6 gnd rswk-swf Unendlichkeit (DE-588)4136067-9 gnd rswk-swf Mengenlehre (DE-588)4074715-3 gnd rswk-swf Mengenlehre (DE-588)4074715-3 s Logik (DE-588)4036202-4 s 1\p DE-604 Unendlichkeit (DE-588)4136067-9 s 2\p DE-604 Mathematik (DE-588)4037944-9 s Philosophie (DE-588)4045791-6 s 3\p DE-604 Transfinite Zahl (DE-588)4471005-7 s 4\p DE-604 https://doi.org/10.1515/9781400849048 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk
