"Apparently This Matters" is CNN Tech's weekly, offbeat look at stories trending on Twitter and Facebook. Today, Jarrett ponders the meaning of infinity in a world that doesn't make much sense to him. He explains how it comes up in everyday common sense stories such as fractions. "I don't know what infinity is," he admits after an awkward moment with his friend who told him about its existence.
What is infinity? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Negin Farsad explore whether we are in a finite universe, the issues with infinity, string theory, and more with theoretical physicist Stephon Alexander.
