From Ken Moore
Everyday structures—houses, offices and airports, for example—are
essentially empty spaces. Only a small proportion of the occupied space is the
structure.
It’s easy to think of many beautiful structures whose elements occupy a tiny
proportion of the available space.
So is Chaitin really casting mathematics into disarray? Number theory, for
example, was not exactly cast into disarray by the realisation that there is a
more than infinite— a transinfinite—number of numbers between
any two integers.
