I add to my original essay of the same name that posited space must be infinite, by supposing that there are two types of spaces, one finite and one infinite. Finite space is the space that is essential for matter to exist. It is indivisible from that matter. This is the space that can be measured, quantified. Infinite space is not quantifiable. The preface explains my basic quandary. The first chapter elucidates the matter, and shows that it is logically coherent. The second chapter mentions magical thinking with respect to mathematics. An example of a man who thinks that 0/0 = 1 is used, and who also claims to have a general theorem for trisecting any triangles with ruler and unmarked compass.
