"No one shall expel us from the paradise that Cantor has created for us"

This quote by David Hilbert is a reference to the work of mathematician Georg Cantor. Cantor's work reinvented mathematics by presenting the idea of infinity and the idea of various levels of infinity. Hilbert was praising Cantor for creating a "paradise" of mathematics, a location where mathematicians could explore and discover new ideas and concepts. The quote suggests that no one can take away the discoveries and insights that Cantor has actually offered, and that mathematicians will constantly have access to this paradise. Hilbert's quote is a testimony to the long lasting impact of Cantor's work and the significance of his contributions to mathematics. It is a suggestion that the discoveries of the past can still be valued and checked out in the present.
