There are lots of different kinds of measure: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebesgue_measure" rel="nofollow">Lebesgue measure</a> is one of the simplest (and historically one of the earliest).<br /><br />Measure solves your Book of Sand conundrum: your gold-painted subset of the book may have an infinite number of pages, but it only has half the measure of the whole book.Gareth Reeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405124248006286547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-913609798232369293.post-81847291071345370382011-12-14T05:18:28.545-08:002011-12-14T05:18:28.545-08:00An inversion upon Zeno's paradox of Achilles a...An inversion upon Zeno's paradox of Achilles and the Tortoise … perhaps one could be embedded within the other for even more dizzying fun?Mahendra Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15308770582240496910noreply@blogger.com
