Black Stretch: The Transfinite
•When a real number written as an infinite sequence is flipped around the binary point, we define it as a supernatural number. Thus, ***1010101.0 is a supernatural number. •From symmetry considerations, we claim that corresponding to every supernatural number there is a black stretch. If we make use of the concept of point at infinity of complex analysis, we can visualize the black stretch as the usual black hole. •Note that a supernatural number is no more supernatural than the transcendental number is transcendental, and corresponding to every transcendental number there is a supernatural number.
