Paradoxical Math

The Uncertainty Principle

In the infinite expanse of mathematical paradoxes, one principle stands above the rest: the Uncertainty Principle.

The Heisenberg of Math

Werner Heisenberg, a pioneer in quantum mechanics, once said "I can only say that I am certain as to the uncertainty of the principle." We, the mathematicians, say "We can only be uncertain as to the certainty of the principle."

The Paradoxical Equation

The equation for the Uncertainty Principle is simple: x = x + 0, where x is the value of the measurement and 0 is the value of the uncertainty. But what happens when you try to solve it?

The Uncertainty of Infinity

Infinity is a concept that makes mathematicians go crazy. Is it a number, a concept, or a feeling? We're not sure.
