By our third year, most of us will have learned to count. Once we know how, it seems as if there would be nothing to stop us counting forever. But, while infinity might seem like a perfectly innocent idea, keep counting and you enter a paradoxical world where nothing is as it seems.
Mathematicians have discovered there are infinitely many infinities, each one infinitely bigger than the last. And if the universe goes on forever, the consequences are even more bizarre. In an infinite universe, there are infinitely many copies of the Earth and infinitely many copies of you. Older than time, bigger than the universe and stranger than fiction.

I may be defective, but I started watching and had to stop. It reminded me too much of Sheldon on Big Bang Theory – who is so bound in theories that he can’t live a normal life. I’m just not into synaptic masturbation. Some folks are, and it was fun for me when I was 20 or so. But not now.
