Contrary To Popular Belief, Today Is NOT Pi Day In the late 16th century, Pope Gregory implemented the “Gregorian calendar” that we use today.

Infinity looked at from the point of view of philosophy, theology, mathematics, and physics. “The infinite! No other question has ever moved so profoundly the spirit of man,” said David Hilbert, one of the most influential mathematicians of the 19th century. A subject extensively studied by philosophers, mathematicians, and more recently, physicists and cosmologists, infinity still stands as an enigma of the intellectual world. Thinkers clash over questions such as: Does infinity exist? Can it be found in the physical world? What types of infinity are there? Through an interdisciplinary discussion with some of the world’s leading thinkers, this program [More]
