2006年「坦普顿奖」（Templeton Prize）得主、享誉世界物理学家和数学家 约翰·巴罗 科普力作！
「无限」曾被视为一种逻辑瘟疫，凡是被它碰上，任何东西的可靠性都要荡然无存。无限就像个恶灵，下定决心要让我们迷途，使无数最杰出的头脑，想探讨无边无际、无限大、无限分割、永恆、甚至永生。直到现在，我们才终于逐渐明白，无限是引领我们踏上正途的稳健向导……
几千年来，西方人认为地球上没有比无限更煽惑人心的观念。无限挑战神学家，也为难科学家。诱引他们一探究竟，把它切割、解析，查清它有没有不同造型和大小，还要做出决定：究竟我们该予以查禁，或者延请纳入人类对宇宙的描述内容？
无限这个概念从何而来？又如何描绘我们的宇宙？无限真的存在吗？抑或是无论我们再怎么计算都永远无法到达的概念？
无限大的本质为何？
为什么你可以从里面拿走若干东西，结果它依旧是无限大？
是不是有某个无限比另一个更大？
而我们拥有的一切，里面是不是始终找得到小之又小、比元素更基本的粒子？
或者是否有个极限，有种最小的「东西」，最小的尺寸？
或者最短的时间，分割到这里就完全停顿？
宇宙是无限的吗？它已经存在无限长时间吗？还可以无限存续下去吗？
你能在一个有限的时间内，数完无限大的数目或事物吗？
有没有哪种问题要某台电脑花上无限时间才能解决？这种问题是什么样子？
无限，这一切到哪里才会结束？
本书从物理、数学出发，跨足宗教、哲学、历史，多角度探讨各种无限的议题，试图解答这道人类曾经想过最奇异、最艰难，也最困惑的主题，带领我们经历一场无限惊奇之旅。
‘A delight. Popular science doesn’t come much better than this’ Independent
Everything you might want to know about infinity - in history and all the way to today's cutting-edge science.
Infinity is surely the strangest idea that humans have ever had. Where did it come from and what is it telling us about our Universe? Can there actually be infinities? Can you do an infinite number of things in a finite amount of time? Is the Universe infinite?
Infinity is also the place where things happen that don't. What is it like to live in a Universe where nothing is original, where you can live forever, where anything that can be done, is done, over and over again?
These are some of the deep questions that the idea of the infinite pushes us to ask. Throughout history, the infinite has been a dangerous concept. Many have lost their lives, their careers, or their freedom for talking about it.
The Infinite Book will take you on a tour of these dangerous questions and the strange answers that scientists, mathematicians, philosophers and theologians have come up with to deal with its threats to our sanity.
