• Zero is powerful because it is infinity’s twin. They are equal and opposite, yin and
  yang. They are equally paradoxical and troubling. The biggest questions in science
  and religion are about nothingness and eternity, the void and the infinite, zero and

  of science, of mathematics, and of religion. Underneath every revolution lay a
  zero – and an infinity.
