Infinity Quotes - Page 3

• Zero is powerful because it is infinity’s twin. They are equal and opposite, yin and
  yang. They are equally paradoxical and troubling. The biggest questions in science
  and religion are about nothingness and eternity, the void and the infinite, zero and
  infinity. The clashes over zero were the battles that shook the foundations of philosophy,
  of science, of mathematics, and of religion. Underneath every revolution lay a
  zero – and an infinity.

• It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.
