The three chapters here for topology are shape manifolds dimensions. This is so good because this also plays into like, you know, psychologically speaking or neurologically speaking as a brain develops. One of the first things that happens is we bring into focus shapes and then also the retina receives information from the outside world in two dimensions. Even though the retina is a three dimensional object, the image that is delivered into consciousness that is extracted from light is two-dimensional. And so it's already a virtual concept. It's already an abstraction, even the level of the third dimension. Like people who have had and have lost their vision at an early age and they gain it later through surgery or through
In this episode we explore the weirdness and wonder of Math Without Numbers with mathematician Milo Beckman who wrote a book about the math behind multiple infinities, strange topologies, and extra dimensions, all without using numbers to explain some of the most fascinating and complex ideas that usually only make sense when scribbled in strange notations on a blackboard.
