INFINITY, RELATIVITY AND SMOOTHNESS.
The article presents arguments about infinity. An example of an argument against the possibility of an infinite past is the existence of the universe. A variation on the infinite billiards case in which one does not need to squeeze infinitely many particles in a finite space is discussed. The theory...
