Simple Words Too Profound For Hu . man Understanding. r Q.t'fin there be two kinds of Infini ties or two Infinite spaces? A. -The writer of this question must decide The nearest star Is distant twenty live trillion miles. Write a row of units 111111... to the star end (ef each unit represent one mile; tben tVie dlshi nee represented by a line of l'a. twenty-five trillion, utiles long, sub merges all human powers of imagina tion But write a row of &.. twenty-five trillion- miles- long: then the number of miles represented would be twice hh great. Then, write a row of IKKHiiW... equally long. Hud the distance express would be nine times as great as 'thin represented by the l's. ' Hut no human can think of the dis tance expressed by- the Vs. Let the first row of, figures extend twenty-five trillion or fifty dr. a thousand trillion mlles'to the east: then n row could be extended towurd the west. Many mil lions of years would be required to write the long rows. Supose tbat you write: 0" both 'way during a thou sand million years each. Tben the dis tance in miles would be thinner than a spider's, thread when compared to nn Infinite distance. '." There are possibly fifty persons now living able to think one new thought They are the mighty of the earth, and are all transcendent mathematicians. Not one of these even tries to begin to think of Infinity ot eternity. They all know bettor. Only the superficial strive to think of the two words, so my questioner must answer his own question, for I cannot even hope to se cure a glimpse, lasting a thousandth part of one second, of the meaning of one of the following list of words: Mind, space, time, duration, infinity, eternity, beginning, end. space and electrons.
