Editorial The Zen seemingly impossible task - writing a book about nothing - has a loophole: people have been chatting, learning, and even fight in vain for thousands of years free download of heaven is for rea.. Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea, by the famous author of science Charles Seife, starts with the story of a modern battleship remained rooted in the water with a zero in the ground and then rewinds to several hundred years before our era free download of heaven is for rea.. Some empty-headed genius improved the traditional Eastern counting immeasurably by zero as a placeholder that allows the development of our decimal system still in use. All this was mounted from there, but soap is enthusiastic about his subject, his synthesis of mathematics, history and anthropology seduces the reader into a new fascination with the number, the more disturbing. Why does the Church rejects the use of zero? As the mystics of all stripes out form bent over him? Is it true that science as we know it depends on which cycle mysterious figures? Zero opened these problems and allows us to discover the answers and their consequences for our oh-so-modern lives. Soap has fun with his format, starting with chapter 0 and ends with an appendix titled "Make Your Own Wormhole Time Machine." (. Caution: Do not get your hopes up too much) There are enough graphs and equations to scare numerophobes seriously, but the real story is in the interactions between artists, scientists, mathematicians, religious and political leaders, and the rest of us - We seem to really have nothing in common -.
