The piece surveys the evolution of the concept of the infinite from ancient contemplation to Cantor’s revelation of multiple infinite sizes. It notes Hilbert’s 23 problems, Cantor’s struggles, and the eventual 1963 breakthrough, ending with reflections on infinity’s mystery and a personal contact for Tim Pennings.
