Infinities in a sentence

The problem of infinities The emergence of infinities Pascual Jordan (1902 1980), doctoral student of Max Born, was a pioneer in quantum field theory, coauthoring a number of seminal papers with Born and Heisenberg.

And maybe a bit of Star Wars Infinities as well.

According to Rosenblum, "Rothko, like Friedrich and Turner, places us on the threshold of those shapeless infinities discussed by the aestheticians of the Sublime.

A problem for Aristotelian realism is what account to give of higher infinities, which may not be realizable in the physical world.

As in the case for sequences, the limit inferior and limit superior are always well-defined if we allow the values +∞ and −∞; in fact, if both agree then the limit exists and is equal to their common value (again possibly including the infinities).

But Plato has two infinities, the Great and the Small.

Classical set theory Classical set theory accepts the notion of actual, completed infinities.

For Kronecker, Cantor's hierarchy of infinities was inadmissible, since accepting the concept of actual infinity would open the door to paradoxes which would challenge the validity of mathematics as a whole.

Georg Cantor is the most significant mathematician who defended actual infinities, equating the Absolute Infinite with God.

Infinite layers of nesting Although a room can be found for any finite number of nested infinities of people, the same is not always true for an infinite number of layers, even if a finite number of elements exists at each layer.

In general, a QFT is called renormalizable, if all infinities can be absorbed into a redefinition of a finite number of coupling constants and masses.

It follows, then, that spacetime has an elementary quantum granular structure at the Planck scale, which cuts off the ultraviolet infinities of quantum field theory.

Normalized numbers exclude subnormal values, zeros, infinities, and NaNs.

Others came up with first ideas of coping with infinities by a redefinition of the parameters of the theory and using a measured finite value, for example of the charge of the electron, instead of the infinite ‘bare’ value.

Since physicists abhor infinities in their calculations, and r is always non-zero in practice, the choice of at infinity is by far the more preferable choice, even if the idea of negative energy in a gravity well appears to be peculiar at first.

Some physicists tried to circumvent the infinities by more-or-less arbitrary prescriptions, others worked on transformations and improvements of the theoretical framework.

Such quantities are the same in every coordinate system, so these infinities will not "go away" by a change of coordinates.

The idea was simply to attach infinities to corrections of mass and charge that were actually fixed to a finite value by experiments.

These bits are set to all ones by any MMX instruction, which correspond to the floating point representation of NaNs or infinities.

The suit was eventually settled out of court, with TSR buying the complete rights to the Dangerous Journeys system from New Infinities and then permanently shelving the entire project.
