Gabriel's Horn
-
So, perhaps you know Gabriel's Horn (also called Torricelli's trumpet). It's a funny (virtual) object. Gabriels Horn is the surface of revolution of the function y = 1 / x about the x-axis for x >= 1. You can try to fill this horn, which is named after the archangel Gabriel (he has to blow it to annouce Judgement Day), with paint. If you take centimeter as measuring unit you can fill up Pi litres. So after filling in about 3.14 litres, it's full. There is no more space left. But: This amout of paint isn't enough to paint the surface. All paint on earth is not enough to fill the surface, cause the surface is infinite. Interest how to solve this puzzle? Take at look at wiki[^] or this site[^]. :cool: Well, I read a mathematical joke this morning and Gabriel's Horn came up to my mind. As it is really funny to think about that, I wrote it down, as nobody did before for the lounge as it seems.

My decorator told me the same thing, when he handed me the bill for repainting my lounge.

I always thought Gabriels horn was something you only saw at the most raucous Genesis Gigs.
I had Gabriels horn this morning when the new girl started ;)

Extremely interesting. Thanks for the read. :)

That is the exact opposite of the Wife's purse : It has a finite surface, but you can put as much money as you want in it, it is always empty.
