Ojalá algún día nos puedas comentar un poco al respecto en tu blog.<BR/><BR/>Rafael: Also thanks for your comment, and for your thoughts about the case of Cantor. I can imagine how this rejection of your ideas, which you moreover recognize as revolutionary, can affect your mental health. I'm certainly interested in learning a bit more about the life of Cantor.<BR/><BR/>Also thanks to the creator of Abstruse Goose, who took the time to read the my ramblings sparkled from her comic. :-)Juanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658633626165115401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9614963.post-85613618377437679532008-10-14T17:04:00.000+01:002008-10-14T17:04:00.000+01:00Since you left Cantor out in your refutation, let ...Since you left Cantor out in your refutation, let me introduce my theory here.<BR/>For me, the reason why Cantor finished his life in madness is not related to his revolutionary ideas <I>per se</I>, but more to the great rejection he suffered because of them.<BR/>Imagine that everything you do is marked by the whole scientific community as irrelevant, senseless and wrong. After several years, this has to drive you crazy.<BR/>Great post, btw.Rafael Peñalozahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10969882772270912305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9614963.post-30020252884520101742008-10-13T22:50:00.000+01:002008-10-13T22:50:00.000+01:00Muy interesate post.
