An infinite number of small numbers does not always add up to infinity! Since the apparent brightness of a star is an inverse-square law, if you assume there are an infinite number of stars, each 1 light year further away from you in a line and all the same brightness, you end up with that area being only 64%[1] brighter than it would seem with only the first star. Seems like a pretty simple resolution to this paradox to me.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Particular_values_of_Riemann_zeta_function" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Particular_values_of_Riemann_z...</a>
