“If I were to awaken after having slept for a thousand years, my first question would be: Has the Riemann hypothesis been proven?” – David Hilbert

What was mathematician David Hilbert hiding under his hat?

Above the hotel is a glowing infinity symbol. The size of countably infinite sets, like all natural numbers {1,2,3, .... ∞ } is denoted by Aleph Nought ℵ0 shown on the two flags.

Each print is printed by hand in indigo, lavendar, mint green and dark navy blue ink on Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper, 8” x 10” (20.3 cm by 25.4 cm).

Release your inner Hilbert. Find the axioms and assert them.

It's OK to seek out axioms. Even if you aren't a genius.

Look for the truth in the simplest possible terms. That's why we have been placed on this troubled Earth. Us postulating axioms is His will.

In a shocking twist, David Hilbert rises from the grave to address us via #radio in 2014, only to be drowned out by the Mathematical Association of America's riveting #policies and #procedures 🤯💤. Who knew the real challenge in math was navigating the endless sea of #bylaws and contact lists? 🤷‍♂️📜

Happy birthday to #mathematician David Hilbert (1862-1943)! This #linocut illustrates the paradox of Hilbert’s Grand Hotel, a thought experiment conceived by Hilbert in 1924 to show the paradox of infinite sets. If you imagine a regular hotel with a finite number of rooms, if they are all filled you can’t add more guests. In an imaginary infinite hotel however, guests are always welcome! 🧵

„1934 speiste der bereits emeritierte [Göttinger Mathematiker] #DavidHilbert mit Bernhard Rust, dem nationalsozialistischen Kultusminister.

Rust frage: »Wie steht es um die #Mathematik Göttingen, jetzt, wo sie frei von jüdischem Einfluss ist?«

Hilbert antwortete nur: »Mathematik in Göttingen? Die gibt es gar nicht mehr.«

[zitiert aus der #EmmyNoether-Biografie von Lars Jaeger].

PS: Heute ist ab 12 Uhr eine Demo gegen Quer„denker“ ab Gauß-Weber-Denkmal in #Göttingen.

Georg Cantor cannot sleep in the infinite room of Hilbert's hotel.

The print shows a grand hotel on a steep angle (with a vanishing point at infinity of course), labelled "Hilbert's Grand Hotel" below a cameo of Hilbert himself, and the slogan "No vancancy. Check in now!" Above the hotel is a glowing infinity symbol. The size of countably infinite sets, like all natural numbers {1,2,3, .... ∞ } is denoted by Aleph Nought ℵ0 shown on the two flags.
