Professor Edward Kasner of Columbia University announced that he had measured and bisected the "horn angle" - the angle between two curves tangent to each other. The ancient Greeks decided that the horn angle was a zero, could therefore be neither measured nor bisected; Isaac Newton and his successors, having no luck with the problem, were constrained to agree. Dr. Kasner solved the problem with four unreal numbers. When the angle is bisected in his geometrical system, the sum of the halves is greater than the whole. And if one of the curves is considered to be a straight line, each...
