Mathematical ideas are often divided into two types‚ those that are continuous‚ and those that are discrete. An example of continuous is the number line. Between any two points‚ there are always more points. For discrete sets‚ this is not true. For instance‚ in baseball there are four bases. If you get a hit it is either a one-base hit (what we call a single)‚ a two-base hit‚ a three-base hit‚ or a home run. There is no such thing as a 2 1/2 base hit. Discrete things are found

One of the first to theorize the motion of both terrestrial and celestial bodies was Aristotle around 330BCE. To this philosopher‚ the universe had always been eternally geocentric. On Earth the concept
