Talk:Gabriel's horn

2007:
assumption for humans to have made until experimental evidence contradicted it. No revision of mathematics was necessary. We merely accept that mathematical things don't work like real things, and keep going. We fill up Euclidean planes (which have zero thickness) with lines that have zero thickness, which contain points of zero anything. A sphere's surface has zero thickness. Mathematics is FULL of things that can't exist in the physical world. Why should "physical impossibility" be permitted as a discussion-point for this horn when it's not a discussion-point for zero-thickness things that are all over the place in mathematics? Either the area under the curve is finite or it isn't. If it's finite, then it's perfectly reasonable to talk about painting this horn's interior using a finite amount of paint.

with the finite amount of paint that we know fills it. Insert the smaller horn all the way into the interior of the larger horn. (It's even possible to calculate the finite volume of paint that will be forced to overflow the flared rim of the larger horn by the displacement.) Let it sit for awhile. Remove the smaller horn from within the larger horn. It will come out having been painted by having been dipped. This method is obvious but I'm just not finding it anywhere. Please do the research and add it in.

obviously a bit of a cheat. However, if you're going to run with the paint thing, then the infinite time needed to complete the coverage does become important, because it's actually the paradox reasserting itself in a restated way - the reason the time required is infinite is simply that the length (thus area) of the horn is infinite, and there's no getting around that. -
22: 2127: 2217:, then the resulting volume is also finite and looks like a glass tumbler or jar infinitely extended in one direction. Meanwhile the volume inside the rotated cissoid is clearly infinite, and it is the comparison of these two volumes which is interesting. The area here is not a surface area as in Gabriel's Horn, but in effect a cross-sectional area.-- 1888: 685:
I'm sure this is a fascinating subject. Do you suppose this could be rewritten so the average layperson (say, with a US high school education) could have the foggiest idea of what it means? I'm trying to understand how an object with finite surface area could have infinite volume, and unfortunately
246:
I am a novice. However, one thing strikes me. PI being transcedental we can never find out how much paint is needed to fill it(otherwords we do not know the volume but we have a name for what we do not know: PI). Therefore infinite area might suggest absurdity and not unpaintable infinate surface. We
212:
I do not understand the infinite time or "length (hence area)" points. We know that "length infinite, so volume infinite" would be wrong. We could come up with a another horn based on y=1/x^2 where both the area and the volume would be finite, but the length and time would still be infinite; somehow

It isn't known as that in most places; in the 17th to 19th century everyone just called it the "solidum hyperbolicum acutum" ("solido hyperbolico acuto" being the ablative case, of course) or translations of the same into Italian/French/English/German/whatever. We've got a published source that has

At the end of Mathematical Definition it says "...it was considered paradoxical as, by rotating an infinite _area_ about the x-axis, an object of finite volume is obtained.". I changed it to read 'curve' instead of 'area', because building a solid of revolution is rotating a curve, not an area, the

No offense intended, but you've got to be kidding. "What in particular is the problem?"? Your response indicates to me that you are probably either a professional or enthusiastic amateur in a field that uses advanced mathematics on a regular basis. Unfortunately, it's all too easy when one is an

More realistically though, I'm gonna say "no" because any substance sufficiently thin to have a chance of "painting" the horn (it would need to be infinitely thin) would cease to have any properties one would associate with a liquid or even matter, let alone "paint" and therefore you couldn't even

c1c2c3c4c- it is not a paradox, just flawed logic. as y approaches x it never equals o it is always .00000001, .00000000001 etc thus volume is created infinitely. even after fixing that mathematical mistake, infinity is a physical impossibility the entire idea of this being a paradox even assuming
2010:
I have tried to find a source to document one method for painting the EXTERIOR of this horn. Simply make a horn that was built spinning the graph "y=2/x". Every point on this curve is twice as far from the x-axis as the same point on the "y=1/x" curve having the same x-value. Fill the larger horn

The paint analogy was once in the article and while its a cute way of illustrating the paradox, it simply offered too many problems and was ultimately edited out. See above discussion at top of this talk page on the subject. But to answer your question, "If you filled the horn with paint and then

696:
What in particular is the problem? The horn extends an infinite length to the right. So measuring from the left to a particular point, its surface area and volume both increase as the point moves to the right. Because of its particular shape, the surface area increases without limit, while the

It seems an odd method of explanation to me also. Since we seem to be in agreement, I have removed it and added a resolution to the paradox that hopefully explains things in a more clear-cut way (I think that the best way to illustrate this would be with some diagrams; hopefully someone will come

Unfortunately the paint conceptualisation, while clever, misses the essence of the paradox. The problem rests on the apparent incompatibility of the formulas of area and volume where infinite quantities are concerned, at least in some circumstances. Coming up with an infinitely thinnable paint is

The final sentence reads "If the paint is considered without thickness, it would further take infinitely long time for the paint to run all the way down to the "end" of the horn." To me it seems irrelevant how much time it would take to paint the horn (since I'm not paying anyone to do it ;). The

I don't think we should be discussing the paint using concepts like molecules and friction, etc. Those come from the real world, not mathematics. What did Euclid know about molecules? The idea that for any quantity of water "x" there is a quantity of water that is "x/2" is a perfectly reasonable

1973:
And of course not only couldn't you paint it in theory, but also not in practice, regardless if the horn had a truely infinite area or not. Any substance that one could qualify as being "paint", would be far to thick to reach the tiny recess of the narrow part of the horn. Indeed, the molecules
235:
The paint thing is taken off, but you CANNOT fill it with infinitely thin paint. (as if you could even see it). It would take FOREVER for you to pour paint into it, thus you could pour 20 times the amount it should hold, and it STILL wouldn't fill. Assuming the end of the horn itself generates
155:
Well, it seems as though in the context of the horn, the paradox mentioned defeats itself. A finite volume of paint could have an infinite surface area, if a piece of metal can also have those two quantities... Either I am missing something, or the original creators of the paradox were missing
725:
Third, and here I'm doubtless going to display my ignorance, this appears to my untrained eye to be one of those cases of subsets of infinities. The diameter of the "horn" decreases but since the horn extends to infinity then it would seem that the volume it holds is also
631: 1934:
Gabriel's horn has an infinite surface area, so in theory you could not paint one. But since Gabriel's Horn has a volume of π cubic units, one could supposedly fill it with π cubic units of paint. If you did this, and then emptied the horn, would it be painted?

I have added what I hope is a reasonable explanation. It could do with some work, but I made an effort to try and explain it without much reference to the mathematics involved; it's quite a difficult thing to understand without it, however. The diagrams on
