Acclaimed science writer Richard Morris guides the reader on a literate and clearly written tour of the efforts to make sense of the mind-bending concept of the infinite. Starting with simple logical puzzles and progressing to the latest cosmological theories, he shows us how this very problem helped spawn groundbreaking theories such as relativity and quantum mechanics. Finally, we see how the possibility of infinite universes may hold answers to some of humankind's most fundamental questions.

International Bestseller Translated into six foreign languages, Achilles in the Quantum Universe has become something of an international bestseller. The book does not deal with the mathematics of infinity, but rather with glimpses of the infinite as they are encountered in the real world. The concept of infinity in philosophy, in literature and in contemporary physics and cosmology is discussed. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
