And why do we keep trying to define something that so stubbornly remains just out of reach? Human beings everywhere have explored infinity for millennia. Philosophers, theologians, and mathematicians have argued endlessly about it, and for ages, nobody could quite agree on whether infinity even exists at all. Then along came Georg Cantor, who took the whole concept to another level: he proved that some infinities are bigger than others—which sent people's brains spinning and paved the way for staggering mathematical revolutions in the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Big Book of Infinity\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, you'll learn about the brave people who dared to explore infinity (and sometimes lost their minds over it), you'll discover how many atoms are in the universe (fewer than you think!), meet the BIGGEST numbers imaginable, and play with the idea of the tiniest ones—because infinity can also be very small, small enough to fit like a snowflake in the palm of your hand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe may never reach infinity—but the journey there is endless fun.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWritten by the authors of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Big Book of Pi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—a mathe-magician, a children's author, and an illustrator with a gift for making a book about math read like a comic book—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Big Book of Infinity\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e explores seriously mind-boggling ideas.
