"Finding Infinity" is an autobiographical article by Glenn Borchardt published on 22 April 2019 on Beyond Mainstream, reprinted from his blog.
Answering the question of how he first came to think the universe infinite, Borchardt describes fourteen years from 1962 spent largely on laboratory and field work in soil science, geology and chemistry, combined with a preference for logic and a dislike of contradiction. He credits general-science reading — including an article that dared suggest space was not perfectly empty — with making him aware of how many contradictions and paradoxes physics contained.
