Dunking DonutsNot all donuts are tasty, and not all donuts can be eaten. If you think this is bluff, check out Cantor’s Donut Paradox. If the page loads and you do not see any donuts from Krispy Kreme or Dunking Donunts on the screen, do not be surprised. Dunking Donunts really do not exist in the world of Cantor’s.

Donuts are colourful, yummy and appetizing, yes, but that conception might have shattered when your math professor suddenly started talking about donuts and all you saw on the board are numbers and lines. Do not worry. You are not the only one who thought of ‘Glazed’ or ‘Cream-Filled’ when Cantor’s Donut Paradox was mentioned.

Cantor’s Donut is a theorem in mathematics that deals with the continuum hypothesis. If you visit the site called Cantor’s Donut Paradox, you will see that donut thing was used to reassess uncountability and the Continuum Hypothesis. It was also used in reference to a Novel Geometrical Analogue of the Aleph Series.

If that sounded Greek to you, that is fine. Only mathematicians are supposed to understand that anyway. Regardless of what it may be, the donut of that guy named Cantor is certainly popular, even putting up competition with Dunking Donunts and other donuts in the world because many are under the impression that Cantor’s can be eaten.

Lesson for the day: Not all donuts are edible, and there are some which could drain your brain and fill your mind with numbers and lines until you are confused if what you are seeing is indeed a donut or not.
