if you want to get your head around infinity note that one of the greatest novelists of our time, david foster wallace, wrote a great book about it and cantor: "everything and more".
on a more sensational note, also note that wallace and cantor, both geniuses, also both committed suicide.
- gruseom 16y agoI don't think it's true that Cantor committed suicide. Wikipedia mentions no such thing, and the bio at http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Biographies/Cantor.html http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Biographies/Cant... says he died of a heart attack at 72.
