Introduction

The idea of infinity has been commonly associated with being troubling to the human psyche. Yet for me, the concept has been one of personal connection. On a late winter evening in 2011, I desired to express the notion of infinity in a simple, comprehensible manner to the public. I first focused on limits and its relation to the unlimited: Limits cannot exist without the unlimited. This was an effort to explain that infinity truly existed and that we should consider its significance in our daily lives.

From this hypothesis, I continued to postulate the development of this theory. I was referred by a colleague at the University of Washington Bothell to the Math Learning Center at the UW Bothell to clarify my philosophy with expert mathematicians. As Plato expounded that philosopher should study 10 years of mathematics before attempting to philosophize, I too was driven to mathematics to develop my theories (Plato and His Riches, 2008). I was led into the realm of set theory and number theory, where theorists Georg Cantor and Kurt Godel ruled, to solve the task of explaining my notions to the public.
