Behold the cosmic joke of mathematical induction gone wild! The top part shows a "theorem" that uses induction to prove all numbers are small (start with 0, add 1, repeat until infinity = still small, apparently). Meanwhile, an alien is looking at our universe map like "I've got 10^80 particles in MY universe" and our puny human math is calling that a "small number"? *adjusts lab goggles frantically* This is what happens when mathematicians and cosmologists get into arguments at interdimensional coffee shops! The universe just sits there containing billions of galaxies while we debate whether numbers are "small" or not. Talk about perspective!
