The easiest way to experience a sensation of quasi-religious vastness from math might be pondering large numbers. > Weirdly, thinking about Graham’s number has actually made me feel a little bit calmer about death, because it’s a reminder that I don’t actually want to live forever—I do want to die at some point, because remaining conscious for eternity is even scarier. Yes, death comes way, way too quickly, but the thought “I do want to die at some point” is a very novel concept to me and actually makes me more relaxed than usual about our mortality. https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/11/1000000-grahams-number.html |
