“Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty” Bertrand Russell
There was a young fellow from Trinity (Cambridge University?)…..
…..Who took √∞ ….. But the number of digits….. Gave him the fidgets…..
He dropped Math and took up Divinity…
Hehehehe … ∞
This is the phrase at the bottom of title page of the book One, Two, Three…Infinity by George Gamow.
I enjoyed reading it, since it is about facts and speculations of Science!

If you want to actually take the square root of infinity some time, try looking up surreal numbers.
One, Two, Three, …, Infinityby Gamow is really an awesome book!
