　　For a thousand years, infinity has proven to be a difficultand illuminating challenge for mathematicians and theologians. Itcertainly is the strangest idea that humans have ever thought.Where did it come from and what is it telling us about ourUniverse? Can there actually be infinities? Is matter infinitelydivisible into ever-smaller pieces? But infinity is also the placewhere things happen that don't. All manner of strange paradoxes andfantasies characterize an infinite universe. If our Universe isinfinite then an infinite number of exact copies of you are, atthis very moment, reading an identical sentence on an identicalplanet somewhere else in the Universe.

Now Infinity is the darling of cutting edge research, themeasuring stick used by physicists, cosmologists, andmathematicians to determine the accuracy of their theories. Fromthe paradox of Zeno’s arrow to string theory, Cambridge professorJohn Barrow takes us on a grand tour of this most elusive of ideasand describes with clarifying subtlety how this subject has shaped,and continues to shape, our very sense of the world in which welive. The Infinite Book is a thoroughly entertaining and completelyaccessible account of the biggest subject of them all–infinity. 　　John D. Barrow is Research Professor of Mathematical Sciencesat the University of Cambridge. He is the author of severalbestselling books, including Theories of Everything andImpossibility. Pteface
