Hilbert's Hotel: a philosophical thought experiment demonstrating the impossibility of an actual infinite series — recommended as a resource.
Mike points viewers to Hilbert's Hotel as a philosophical demonstration of why infinite regression is impossible.
Hilbert's Hotel (a thought experiment by mathematician David Hilbert) shows that an actually infinite set of discrete, equal units leads to logical paradoxes — therefore an infinite number of gods going backwards in time is impossible. God's infinity is of a different kind: it is an infinite quality of his nature, not a countable infinite series.
