The infinite is surely the strangest idea humans have ever conceived, an enigma that has haunted our species since the dawn of time: why, when subjected to any mathematical operation, does the infinite remain infinite? Is there one infinity or are there many? Can one infinity be larger than another? Is the universe infinite? In this captivating and unusual essay, John D. Barrow leads us on an adventurous journey along these rugged paths in search of the most fantastic and brilliant theories conceived by scientists, mathematicians, philosophers, and theologians to answer the challenges that the concept of infinity poses to human intelligence.
