Conversation & Knowledge Circle – Infinity
Details
What if infinity isn’t just a maths concept… but a mirror of how we see, create, and experience the world?
Could it be that infinity shows up not just in equations, but in art, perception, and the way we live and imagine?
Join us for a wonder-filled, childlike journey into infinity - not as a dry or abstract idea, but as a gateway to curiosity, creativity, and a deeper love of learning. This session is for the curious - no maths background needed. Just bring your imagination and a love for exploring the unknown.
-- What to Expect ?
- ~5 minutes of storytelling/knowledge sharing:
- Kathia will open the stage with a short storytelling, exploring infinity through visual art and geometry - where vanishing points meet the infinite, and perception shapes reality. From drawing perspective to the edges of neuroscience, this segment weaves together maths, art, and how we see the world.
- Then Sushmita will take us into the world of paradoxes - where logic gets twisted, and our intuitions are challenged. From Hilbert’s Hotel to Zeno’s paradoxes and the strange puzzle of Gabriel’s Horn, we’ll explore where infinity breaks the rules... and where it might show up beyond mathematics, in real life.
- Group discussion:
After the sharing session, we’ll open the space for our collective reflections, where we bring our thoughts and wonderings.
Looking forward to embarking into the infinite together!
📜 To foster a fruitful, respectful, and inspiring conversation together, please be mindful of the following ground rules:
- Listen respectfully, without interrupting.
- Listen actively and with an ear to understanding others' views.
- Comment on ideas, not individuals.
- Focus on learning rather than debating. The goal is not to find agreement, but to gain insights from the diverse perspectives we each bring to the table. Comment in order to share information, not to persuade.
- Avoid blame, speculation, and inflammatory language.
- Allow everyone the chance to speak.
- Avoid no-shows and last-minute drop-outs to ensure fairness to those on the waitlist and the organizer. Be advised that a no-show or a drop-out may result in your exclusion from the next meetup.
- Refrain from attending the event if you're not on the attendee list. This ensures fairness to those on the waitlist and helps the organizer.
- Be mindful and present during the discussion. Avoid using your phone; after all, the beauty lies in face-to-face social interaction.
