The Infinite Hotel Paradox

Title:: The Infinite Hotel Paradox
Speaker:: Jeff Dekofsky
Description:: The Infinite Hotel, a thought experiment created by German mathematician David Hilbert, is a hotel with an infinite number of rooms. Easy to comprehend, right? Wrong. What if it's completely booked but one person wants to check in? What about 40? Or an infinitely full bus of people? Jeff Dekofsky solves these heady lodging issues using Hilbert's paradox. [Directed by The Moving Company Animation Studio, narrated by Addison Anderson].
