[1] >This world is a strange madhouse. Currently, every coachman and every waiter is debating whether relativity theory is correct. Belief in this matter depends on political part…

HN discussionOh, I think this is the ideal place to share one of my favorite math blogs. https://infinityplusonemath.wordpress.com/archive/ There is a section about 'infinity' and I think it is very fun to read.
