Feynman Explains Why INFINITY is Impossible to Fully Understand—Even in INFINITE TIME

Описание: #richardfeynman #infinity #physics
Feynman explains why infinity is impossible to fully understand—even in infinite time.
Feynman explains infinity not as a mystery to solve, but as a limit of human thinking.

In this video, we explore Richard Feynman’s profound insights into infinity—why it appears everywhere in physics and mathematics, yet forever escapes complete understanding. Through thought experiments, paradoxes, and plain-spoken reasoning, you’ll see why infinity isn’t just “a very big number,” but a concept that fundamentally challenges how the human brain works.

This long-form documentary-style explanation is designed for curious beginners, students, and anyone who enjoys deep ideas explained simply. You’ll learn:

Why infinity behaves differently from finite numbers

How physicists use infinity without truly “understanding” it

Why more time doesn’t equal more understanding

What Feynman meant when he warned against false clarity

This isn’t about memorizing formulas—it’s about learning how to think about limits, knowledge, and the structure of reality itself.

Inspired by the teaching philosophy of Richard Feynman.
