5 The infinitely small
So far, you’ve looked at the infinitely big. You’ve seen that, while it initially seems counter-intuitive, it can be tamed with methodical proofs. The infinitely small is a different beast though. It’s not ‘nothing’ and it’s not ‘something’. It can have a position, but it cannot have any size. The infinitely small is akin to the coordinates on a graph or map, which have locations but no width (as they would then be in another point’s location).
