A dazzling exploration of the strange and extreme numbers that illuminate the ultimate nature of reality. For particularly brilliant theoretical physicists like James Clerk Maxwell, Paul Dirac, or Albert Einstein, the search for mathematical truths—via ever more mind-boggling numbers—led to strange new understandings of reality. But what are these mysterious numbers that explain the universe? In Fantastic Numbers and Where...
