The biggest injustice in the history of modern mathematics

last century - years, Cantor rigorously proved a mathematical theorem: the geometric points in a square are equal to the number of geometric points on their sides. As a result, Cantor began to study in depth, to obtain a series of inferences, and eventually created the set theory.

Unfortunately, Cantor's creative discoveries were not understood and praised by the academic community at the time, but were severely criticized and even personally attacked. For example: Poincaré, a French academic authority, openly said: "Cantor's thought is"grave disease"(deadly disease); a German mathematician cloning Nike published an article that openly accuses Cantor of being"Scientific charlatan"(Scientific Liar), "traitor" ("Renegade"), even saying: Cantor is"Corrupter of Youth"(the degenerate of the young). At this point, the academic authority of a young scholar into a "scientific liar", causing injustice.

Cantor's work judge what. Hilbert, the greatest mathematician of the last century, commented:"No one shall expel us from the Paradise that Cantor have created", meaning: Nobody can take us from Cantor Set up in the park. At this point, Cantor's academic injustice was thoroughly vindicated.

Historically, the points on the plane were significantly more than the dots on the line. This is the intuitive "truth" of man. But Cantor has proved that this is the wrong idea. As a result, Cantor violated the academic "rules", was beaten to "scientific liar", "traitor", wronged for many years. For this reason, since 1884 years, Cantor has suffered from severe, recurrent episodes of mental depression (Depression) until his death.
