The greatest of all is the infinite
- @ 16:10–30:30: The infinite. Monkeys og Shakespeare. The word infinite. The number π. Hilbert’s hotel. @ 24:00: Infinity plus one. Cardinal and ordinal numbers. Countability. Continuum hypothesis.
- @ 49:28–53:00: Probability of having the same birthday. The Birthday Paradox.
We find pictures of everything that has ever happened - inside the number pi. And then we have a visit from a climate scientist, three days after Trump was elected president. He's low on hat. Additionally, we ask:
- How to keep bananas fresh?
- What can the galls on oak trees do?
- Why is it colder in the mountains?
- Can you see further in the fall?
- How long do bedbugs survive?
On the panel:
- Particle physicist and climate scientist Bjørn Samset
- Logician Roger Antonsen
- Conservation biologist Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson
