Разказите в "Мистерията живот" са въз основа на преживяванията ми с Клод. Писал съм ги, когато бяхме заедно и сега като ги препрочитам, в съзнанието ми изплуват ярки спомени, а сърцето ми болезнено се свива от носталгия по щастливите дни… Водех приятно и безметежно съществуване; отделях по четири часа за работа, седем дни седмично. Доставяше ми удоволствие и сега осъзнавам какъв късметлия съм бил, че всеки път, когато ми потрябваше нов сюжет, успявах да го намеря.

Математиката, Кабалата и търсенето на безкрайността ... Между V и VI век пр. Хр. гърците стигат до идеята за безкрайността. Цялата концепция за нея е толкова поразителна и фантастична, че смущава философите и математиците, които я откриват, причинявайки болка, лудост и поне едно убийство. Кабалистите - еврейските мистици, стъпват здраво на концепцията за безкрайността, почти както гръцките философи и математици преди тях. Те са били наясно, че безкрайността съществува както като безкрайна колекция от несвързани обекти, така и като континуум. Но математическото разбиране и развиване на различните видове безкрайност е ... |
