A brief and understandable history of one of the most abstract and fascinating mathematical concepts.

Since ancient times, its nature has haunted mathematicians and philosophers. Is infinity real? Or is it merely a meaningless abstraction? Plato and Aristotle attempted to approach infinity, and two thousand years later, Galileo and Newton followed. But it was only 19th-century scientists who succeeded in laying the foundations of an entirely new mathematics—the mathematics of infinity.

Georg Cantor's astonishing and paradoxical discovery—a series of growing infinities stretching beyond the horizon—allowed humanity for the first time to glimpse strange, unexplored realms where the usual rules of arithmetic do not apply. There, indeed, one can find everything... and even more.
