The Babylonians invented it, the Greeks banned it, the Hindus worshiped it, and the Church used it to fend off heretics. Now it threatens the foundations of modern physics. For centuries the power of zero savored of the demonic; once harnessed, it became the most important tool in mathematics. For zero, infinity's twin, is not like other numbers. It is both nothing and everything.

In Zero, science journalist Charles Seife follows this innocent-looking number from its birth as an Eastern philosophical concept to its struggle for acceptance in Europe, its rise and transcendence in the West, and its ever-present threat to modern physics. Here are the legendary thinkers - from Pythagoras to Newton to Heisenberg, from the Kabbalists to today's astrophysicists - who have tried to understand it and whose clashes shook the foundations of philosophy, science, mathematics, and religion. Zero has pitted East against West and faith against reason, and its intransigence persists in the dark core of a black hole and the brilliant flash of the big bang. Today, zero lies at the heart of one of the biggest scientific controversies of all time: the quest for a theory of everything.

So if your looking for a cheerful book about a number over coming the odds to the accepted into the realms of math.. this book isn’t for you. This book touches on topics from Pythagorean, to string theory. Did I expect to hear about black holes when l picked this up? No! Did I enjoy this read? Very much so

Zero, a great read

I love this book! I love zero! This is such a good read! I am a mathematically inspired monist and this is one of my favorite texts about my favorite number. Covers all the important stuff! And taught me so much about the history of math too :)

Zero and infinity have true divinity yay!

I feel the author could’ve written this book in an hour. That being said it digs into the history of the number zero, it gives its origin stories, the good the bad, and the stupid behind the number zero

Overall decent

What’s missing? a PDF to support the words then I could listen and learn as I viewed the formulas for infinity

I was fascinated immediately upon beginning to read this book, recommended to me by someone with fantastic taste in nonfiction. I never expected to be drawn into it like a novel, but here we are. So of course I jumped on the idea of having the story read TO me anytime via audiobook. Not at all disappointed. The narrator fits the material well and now this fascinating and informative tale is one favorite of my repertoire of bedtime stories and auditory companions in my massive audiobook collection.
