Zero to Infinity

Zero to Infinity is a book about transformation, how the simple concept of zero reshaped human understanding and influenced everything from mathematics to philosophy. Collins takes us through the historical journey of zero, from its hesitant beginnings as a mere placeholder to its monumental role in expanding the boundaries of thought. The book explores the intellectual and spiritual challenges zero presented, especially in Western societies where its very existence was seen as a threat to the established order. As the story of zero unfolds, readers are introduced to its power to unlock the infinite, turning mathematical abstractions into tangible concepts that define the universe itself.
