  1. And now to bed, before a swim and book-signing at Glebe Fair tomorrow at 1100-1300 at GlebeBooks.
  2. Infinities of different sizes? @LolJordie Between any two whole numbers, but the proof is easier to see for between 1 and 2.
  3. Infinity Proof? I can explain it to most people in 8 minutes. But I have not found this explanation on the web. But surely it is there?
  4. Cantor's Diagonal Proof that the Infinite Set of numbers between 1 & 2 is larger than the Infinite Set of whole numbers.
  5. "Cantor's proof is one of the wonders of the world, like the hanging gardens of Babylon or the pyramids of Egypt." -Palle Yourgrau
  6. Remove lemon from glass beer bottle before recycling? @skippy_2 Definitely yes. Makes job MUCH easier for workers to recycle, less smell.
  7. I wonder if the Leonid meteor storm of November 16/17 will reach 100/second, as it apparently did in 1966. (Nope, year not multiple of 33)
  8. @Wolfie_Rankin How do I follow a person back?
  9. Infinities can be of different sizes? @spoon579 Yup. Ask any Numbers Mathematician.
  10. Failure with Twitter? @AmosKeeto Please explain.
  11. Figures on solar power? 2,500 km*2 power Oz? @labcoatman Direct mail to me your email address, and I will send you the paper.
  12. Infinities? @spoon579 The infinite set of numbers between 1 and 2 is larger than the infinite set of whole numbers. Cantor's Vectorisation.
  13. Adelaide Book-Signing? @robdotcom71 The exact list is on drkarl.com
  14. Infinity divided by infinity? @darcy5d ..set of whole number by Cantor's Vectorisation - and in just 8 minutes!! Amazing!
  15. Infinity divided by infinity? @darcy5d You can prove that the infinite set of numbers between 1 & 2 is larger than the infinite set of ..
  16. Infinity divided by infinity? @darcy5d Mmmm. Not that simple. There are several "types" of infinity, some of which are larger than others.
  17. Apricot nectar & dreams? @Wolfie_Rankin Improves "quality" of dreams, or their "quantity", or "recall"?
  18. Book signings in Brisbane? @hkanasa We are throwing in some extra ones. Check out drkarl.com for the most up-to-date list.
