    scientist Isaac Newton later made contributions to infinity. Isaac Newton “produced a theory on small numbers or infinitesimals as they are now known” (OnlineClock.net). Although Isaac Newton did put some sense to the idea of infinity, there was still some confusion dealing with the concept of infinity. Galileo Galilei then created the Galileo’s Paradox which showed that “set of counting numbers can correspond with smaller sets of their squares”. (OnlineClock.net). The understanding of infinity that
