Inspiration for this podcast:
"Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It's shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson."
― Frank Herbert, Dune

Almost Everywhere: The Strange World of Null Sets
We unravel how sets with zero length can be everywhere, from the density of the rational numbers to the Cantor set, through Lebesgue measure, density, and almost-everywhere thinking. Explore measure theory’s counterintuitive miracles, the idea of null sets forming a sigma-ideal, and what it means for integration and analysis — with real-world intuition for data, AI, and beyond.
