The infinite 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."
