About the book

This book follows the number zero from its birth as an Eastern philosophical concept to its struggle for acceptance in Europe and its apotheosis as the mystery of a black hole. Here are the legendary thinkers who battled over the meaning of this mysterious number - mystics, cosmologists and clergymen whose clashes over zero shook the very foundations of philosophy, science, mathematics, and religion. With index and bibliography.
