Hilbert Space


In the previous post I told the story of Hilbert and the beer infused slugs. Legend has it that David Hilbert, the greatest mathematician of his time, once said (in German, of course), “Points, lines and planes should be able to be replaced with tables, chairs and beer mugs.” Make that beer mugs full of kibble, please.

Here is a picture of Hilbert space, or is it Hilbert in space?  Or is it just a picture of an astronaut I took from NASA and pasted Hilbert's face on?
For better Hilbert pictures, don't forget that Hilbert’s Happy Day is free on Wednesdays!
