[edit]Toroidal planets are an eminent exemplary of the counterintuitive strangeness of an infinite universe; not only is their existence physically possible yet so infinitesimally improbable that there must be countable infinitude of them pursuant to the Second Borel-Cantelli lemma.
Archicynical refutations of "great thinkers"
[edit]- I believe that we have to content ourselves with our imperfect knowledge and understanding and treat values and moral obligations as a purely human problem—the most important of all human problems.
- Albert Einstein, from a letter to Murray W. Gross (26 April 1947), p. 138
- Incorrect. Humanity has to maintain replacement level fertility rates on a global scale. Moral development counts for virtually nothing if the population is ineluctably collapsing - nolens volens. It comes down to the hard mathematics of the essential biological continuity of Mankind, cornucopian pseudosolutions aside.

- Man is free at the instant he wants to be.

- Conceptual freedom has not demonstrably been proven to be conditional on the intent to manifest it, nor can be iff freedom, as in the state of articulated free will, is precluded by the state of not-freedom, yet paradoxically requires free will initially to necessary emerge.
