Absolutely asymmetric

Published:

Absolutely asymmetric, (0 - 1) - (1 - ∞).

It is fascinating how absolutely asymmetric these two intervals are. The idea comes from observing the behavior of the fraction 1x1 \over x. If x→infx \rightarrow inf, the value of the fraction →0\rightarrow 0. If x→0x \rightarrow 0, the value of the fraction →inf\rightarrow inf. It appears as if the pivotal point is x=1x = 1. I can’t help but admire how a tiny interval (0,1)(0,1) contains infinity while a huge interval (1,inf)(1, inf) can produce such tiny things.

I know that both intervals are infinite in R\Bbb R, and my consideration is meant to be taken as one made by a non astronomer about the stars
