Thank you, Fresnel and Land. > > Then, here, for mathematical physics writ large, this > is about "infinity, mathematical, in physics". infinity, mathematical, in physics does not...compute. are the laws of physics exist somewhere, someplace ...anyplace somewhere other than inside your mind? does evil exist as a force or a place somewhere out there somewhere?? "infinity, mathematical, in physics" is just....a thought, ..it exist only in the mind...like evil.
