Guerra contra el infinito

Is infinity a tool or a threat to logic? For centuries, the most brilliant mathematicians avoided addressing it directly. In this video, we explore the fascinating "war on infinity," from the suspicions of Aristotle and the Greeks to Georg Cantor's revolution that changed mathematics forever. We analyze how figures like Newton, Cauchy, and Dedekind attempted to tame a concept that seemed to break the rules of reason, and how the discovery that there are "different levels of infinity" triggered one of the deepest intellectual crises in history. In this video, you will discover: Why infinity was considered a danger to science. The paradox of infinite series and Newton's calculus. How Georg Cantor proved that some infinities are larger than others. The reconstruction of mathematical foundations and set theory.
