The Nihilism Inherent in the video, A Trip to Infinity
Link to FileThis video is about the concept of Infinity and how utterly mind-boggling and mind-bending it can be. An array of theoretical physicists, mathematicians, philosophers and theoretical cosmologists explain its bizarre manifestations. But it was the last 25 minutes of the video that intrigued me. Here these brilliant scholars laid bare the inherent meaningless of the whole cosmic story. Using their own quotes, I challenge not the specialized knowledge of these experts but their overall worldview that we are just “specks in the cosmos.”
