No other question has ever moved so profoundly the spirit of man; no other idea has so fruitfully stimulated his intellect; yet no other concept stands in greater need of clarification than that of the infinite.\" - David Hilbert This interdisciplinary study of infinity explores the concept through the prism of mathematics and then offers more expansive investigations in areas beyond mathematical boundaries to reflect the broader, deeper implications of infinity for human intellectual thought. More than a dozen world‐renowned researchers in the fields of mathematics, physics, cosmology, philosophy, and theology offer a rich intellectual exchange among various current viewpoints, rather than displaying a static picture of accepted views on infinity. The book starts with a historical examination of the transformation of infinity from a philosophical and theological study to one dominated by mathematics. It then offers technical discussions on the understanding of mathematical infinity. Following this, the book considers the perspectives of physics and cosmology: Can infinity be found in the real universe? Finally, the book returns to questions of philosophical and theological aspects of infinity.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Infinity: New Research Frontiers | Michael Heller | Hardcover | 9781107003873 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks H 1768938","offer_id":49517763330200,"sku":"1768938","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71Z5BMu891L.jpg?v=1784618504","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/infinity-new-research-frontiers","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
