Dear Prof. Dr. David Romero Abad:

Your work came to my attention because you are brave enough to ask an impossible question, How Large Is Infinity?

I originally sent a note through your “Contact Expert” form on your homepage. My question is:
“Might pi (π) give us a sense of the nature of infinity? That is, pi is never-ending, never-repeating, always changing, yet always the same. Doesn’t that describe continuity in a most unusual way? Isn’t that kind of continuity infinite, certainly not finite, and doesn’t it suggest that a primary quality of infinity is continuity? In the same way, symmetry and harmony (Fourier) give us a similar taste of infinity.”

I’ve discussed it here: https://81018.com/perfection/ and https://81018.com/almost/#CSH

Thank you.

Warm regards,
Bruce

PS I am developing a reference page to your work (this page). We will be looking carefully at the ways in which you are working with the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Rollins College here in Winter Park, Florida is doing the same and now we are opening it up to the entire community. –BEC

Thank you, David Romero Abad –

I was delighted to find your article with José-Pedro Reyes-Portales, How Large Is Infinity? I was unfamiliar with Physics Education so your Volume 56 No. 6 Nov 2021 was my very first issue to explore. Certainly IOP Publishing has enormous breadth and depth.

I just sent a note through your “Contact Expert” option on your USIL homepage. There I said,

“Might pi (π) give us a sense of the nature of infinity? That is, pi is never-ending, never-repeating, always changing, yet always the same. Doesn’t that describe continuity in a most unusual way? Isn’t that kind of continuity infinite, certainly not finite, and doesn’t it suggest that a primary quality of infinity is continuity? In the same way, symmetry and harmony (Fourier) give us a similar taste of infinity.” I’ve discussed it here: https://81018.com/perfection/ and https://81018.com/almost/#CSH

I hope this email gets through to you. What is your best email address? Your comments would be deeply appreciated.

Warmly,

Bruce
