Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the concept of infinity, this narrative illustrates a thought-provoking scenario involving a hotel with infinite rooms. When a latecomer finds no vacancies, the owner ingeniously relocates existing guests, demonstrating that even an occupied space can become available through a seemingly impossible process. This anecdote, attributed to mathematician David Hilbert, challenges perceptions of infinity and prompts deep reflection on the nature of existence and occupancy, leaving the reader to ponder the paradoxes inherent in infinite sets.
