If you're going to burn one of our candles, follow these simple steps:
- Trim the wick at least ¼ inch before burning.
- Keep the candle away from drafts, vents or air currents.
- Burn for 2-3 hours each time you light the candle. This will help the candle burn evenly.
- Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire, especially things that are flammable or could start a fire if the candle were to fall over. Keep them out of reach of children and pets too.

What is Infinity actually?

This candle represents a mathematical concept.

Infinity & Hilbert's Paradox

Hilbert's Grand Hotel Paradox, proposed in a 1924 lecture, is a thought experiment that demonstrates a paradoxical characteristic of infinite sets. It is shown that a completely occupied hotel with an endless number of rooms can still accept extra visitors, even an infinite number of them.

In Hilbert's Hotel, which has an infinite number of occupied rooms, space can always be made for new guests by moving each occupant to the next room. This is a paradox because even though all of the rooms are occupied, more rooms for new guests can still be made.

Hilbert's Hotel demonstrates the concept of infinity by showing that infinity is not just a large number, but a completely different type of number that defies our intuition.
