The Man Who Stole Infinity | Quanta Magazine In an 1874 paper, Georg Cantor proved that there are different sizes of infinity and changed math forever. A trove of newly unearthed letters shows that it was also an act of plagiarism.

Thinking this morning how ranking is very helpful in maths, but not so helpful in people.

What an incredible legacy. Do yourself a favour and watch one of Frederick Wiseman’s many incredible portraits of human life available for free on Kanopy. RIP
