Content abstract: This is a wonderful adventure about the number 0, which not only traces the evolution of the symbol and meaning of the number 0, but also traces the religious, historical, philosophical and scientific imagination of the number 0.
In the era before 0, pure logic was dominant, and the universe was based on rational numbers, which showed the existence of God, and everything was traceable and orderly.
Then, in a universe full of zeros, logic collapsed, and quantum theory and relativity collapsed. There is a number 0 behind all the big puzzles in physics. When the infinite density of a black hole is divided by 0, the Big Bang is also made out of nothing, and the infinite energy of vacuum is still divided by 0. ...
Scientists finally know that the universe starts from zero and ends at zero. Whoever can master 0 will master the mystery of the universe.
This book is concise, humorous, rich and enlightening. It is not only the author's eyes on the strangest numbers in the world, but also the author's deep thinking on the biggest paradox in human thought.
