Synopsis

Discover the surprising history of the number zero, a concept once banned in the West and considered demonic. Science journalist Charles Seife traces its journey from an Eastern philosophical idea to a cornerstone of modern mathematics and physics. This book explores how a single number challenged religion, science, and our fundamental understanding of the universe, from ancient Greece to the edge of a black hole.
