Charles Seife Quote
Zero is powerful because it is infinity’s twin. They are equal and opposite, yin andyang. They are equally paradoxical and troubling. The biggest questions in scienceand religion are about nothingness and eternity, the void and the infinite, zero andinfinity. The clashes over zero were the battles that shook the foundations of philosophy,of science, of mathematics, and of religion. Underneath every revolution lay azero – and an infinity.
