“(…) we need the most powerful telescope, that of polished utopian consciousness, in order to penetrate precisely the nearest nearness.”
Ernst Bloch
Torricelli's trumpet is a paradoxical geometric figure that can be filled with a finite amount of matter but has a surface that stretches to infinity. Looking through the tube is like looking through a telescope with which we can simultaneously see in and out.
