Hey guys! We’re now live on Spotify🎧

Take a slow breath and count the atoms inside it, then the atoms in the whole visible universe. Every one of those numbers is finite. But what if the universe that holds them is not, and what would it mean to live inside something that never ends?
This is a slow, patient walk through the mathematics of endlessness, from an ancient cult that called infinity evil, to the mind it nearly broke, to the strange things a cosmos with no edge would have to contain.
Get comfortable, dim the lights, and let this quiet walk to the edge of the universe carry you wherever you are drifting tonight. Subscribe to Sundown Science if you enjoy taking the long way around the cosmos.
