Thomson's lamp is a thought experiment proposed by the British philosopher Jeffrey D. Thomson in 1954. It is used to explore the concepts of infinity, convergence, and the nature of time in philosophy and mathematics. The scenario involves a lamp that can be turned on and off and operates in the following way: at time \( t = 0 \), the lamp is off.
