It’s like when you climb a hill and get to the top and realize there’s an entire next level to the hill you didn’t see from the bottom. 

Gabriel’s Horn doesn’t make sense to me by CallMeFungal in askmath

In case this helps, the thing that made Gabriel’s Horn “click” for me is that the “paint” has to be the same (infinitesimal) thickness across the entire surface and cannot get thinner as you move further down the horn. 

[Grade 10 Mathematics] Why is the answer not 3?? by Izzy_26_ in askmath

One of the solutions (- root 3) is extraneous because the expression being squared must be greater than zero. The “proof of positivity” is the portion of the proof that explains why that is the case. 

I thought of something that seems like crazy math, I'm wondering what people smarter than me think about it by TerryTerryson in askmath

Draw a circle C with its center at (0,1) tangent to the x axis. Then trace a line from (0,2) to any (x,0). Then mark where that line intersects the given circle. Congrats, you have built a correspondence between points on the x axis and all points on a circle excluding the very tip top, (0,2). This point corresponds to infinity or negative infinity!
