…ion was: Could a computer, either mechanical or human, blindly follow known rules to decide all mathematical questions? Hilbert’s 10" Problem asked this question of a particular type of mathematical expression — called a Diophantine equation. Hilbert’s 10" Problem “Given a Diop...

…omic particles?" He says, "They are little things." I said, "But then everybody says that’s a wave potential, that’s in Hilbert space. What is that? Where is Hilbert space?" He says, "It’s mathematical." "What is it?" "It’s infinitely dimensional or zero dimensional." "Where is i...

…larger than infinity. Real Numbers What about the real world we live in? Is the larger infinity we failed to fit into Hilbert’s Hotel present, or was it just a mathematical fiction? Hold up your thumb and index finger for a moment. The gap between them is a distance. Most likel...

…e are done! Is Anything Larger than Infinity? Is there any bus or combination of buses that would cause the manager of Hilbert’s Hotel a problem. The answer is yes and it involves a subtle change to the contents of the bus. An infinite number of buses turn up but this time the...

…. What about fitting an infinite number of new guests into the already full hotel? Surely then we will get stuck. No, Hilbert’s Hotel can fit an infinite number of extra guests. Here’s the trick: ask all the people currently in the hotel to move to the room with double the numb...

…duct. He was trying to solve a puzzle that had been troubling mathematicians for 30 years: The Decision Problem. David Hilbert set out the challenge during a public lecture to the French Academy of Science in 1901, marking the turn of the century. Rather than give a boring lectu...

… a logical paradox if you tried to argue for completeness and consistency at the same time. Thus, of the three original Hilbert problems, completeness, consistency and decidability, only decidability remained unanswered. Turing spent all of 1935 and much of 1936 thinking about t...

…gant annotation that it became the most famous puzzle in mathematics, frustrating mathematicians for nearly 400 years. Hilbert’s question back at the turn of the 20" century was whether a machine could find a proof of this conjecture by following a mechanical procedure, similar...
