Krátky popis
From the number of cells in our bodies to the size of the universe,
big numbers have more to do with the 'real world' than you might
suspect. We all know that numbers go on forever, that you could
spend your life counting and never reach the end of the line, so
there can't be such a thing as a 'biggest number'. Or can there?To
find out, David Darling and Agnijo Banerjee embark on an epic
quest, beginning with cells in the body, stars in the universe, and
the time required for all black holes to evaporate.Then things get
serious. Enter the strange, largely unexplored realm between the
finite and the infinite, and float through a universe where the
rules we cling to no longer apply. Encounter the highest number
computable, infinite kinds of infinity and consider whether one
infinity can be greater than another.At every turn, a cast of wild
and wonderful characters threaten the status quo with their ideas,
and each time the numbers get larger. Will they ever stop?
