In 'The Book of Nothing,' John D. Barrow explores the substantial and varied nature of nothing. With expertise and the ability to make complex theories and ideas accessible, Barrow examines every aspect of nothing, from the zeros of mathematicians to the void of philosophers, demonstrating that nothing is real. The book traces the notion through writers and thinkers from the ancient Greeks to the present, encompassing mathematics, cosmology, theology, and physics to discover the nothing at the heart of most things. Finally, it discusses recent concepts of nothing that are having profound effects on the search for the origins and overall structure of the universe.
John David Barrow was an English cosmologist, theoretical physicist, and mathematician. He served as Gresham Professor of Geometry at Gresham College from 2008 to 2011. Barrow was also a writer of popular science and an amateur playwright.
