Division by zero
A human story about science.
Division by zero is a short story by Ted Chiang.
It’s a story about a mathematician proving arithmatic is incosistent. That two is equal to one without using division by zero.
The proof is not important but it’s implication is not on the world but on the mathematician who proved it. I never imagined that if somebody wrote a story about arithmatic being incosistent it would focus on the mental health of the individual who proved it.

Towers of Babylon
A beautiful story with and unexpected ending. Towers of babylon is a short story by Ted Chiang.
It introduced me to towers of babylon. The story follows Hellalium who’s a miner from elam. Who’s questions about the tower reflect some of mine. Including why is there even a tower, is it morally right for humans to open the vaults of heaven. What about the humans who live on the tower. Who have never what land looks like whose plants grow downward rather than upward for them sun never reaches a place higher than themselves.
