The Infinitely Big and the Infinitely Small

Welcome to my strange and peculiar little book! It is often said that reality is stranger than fiction. I guess this book is a case where the fiction is stranger than the strange reality that is stranger than fiction. Wait. . . what? Please, excuse me. Let me try again. Welcome to my strange and peculiar little book! It was written while pondering about the infinitely divisible distance between the markings on a ruler, the paradox of having infinity contained within a finite space, and how straightforward counting seems to relate to the mysterious qualities of time. If I had to sum up the book, I would say: It is a philosophical book... disguised as a math book... disguised as a fiction book... disguised as a children's book.
