    Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea

    March 29,
    Ketika Leonardo da Pisa (kelak dikenal juga sebagai Fibonacci) memperkenalkan angka nol ke Eropa, dia banyak dihujat kaum terpelajar di sana. Alasannya, selain angka tersebut berasal dari negeri kaum kafir, Arab (sebenarnya awal mula sejarah angka nol berasal dari peradaban Hindu, tapi diadaptasi, 'dipermudah', dan 'diperluas' oleh ilmuwan arab Al-Khawarizmi), orang2 Eropa juga merasa terancam oleh kehadiran angka ini. Dengan hadirnya angka nol, bisa dikatakan sistem numeral Romawi yang terdisi dari abjad (misal I untuk 1, V untuk 5, dll) akan menjadi usang.

    Memang, untuk penggunaan luas, sistem bilangan Romawi menjadi ribet dan terlalu panjang. Karena, pada hakikatnya, bilangan Romawi nyaris tidak mengenal nilai tempat. Akibatnya, saat menuliskan angka dengan nilai bilangan besar, sangat sulit untuk menuliskan bilangan tersebut dengan angka Romawi. contohnya, bilangan jika ditulis dalam bilangan Romawi menjadi MDCCCLXXXVIII.

    “As mathematicians were uncovering the connection between zero and infinity, physicists began to encounter zeros in the natural world; zero crossed over from mathematics to physics. In thermodynamics a zero became an uncrossable barrier: the coldest temperature possible. In Einstein's theory of general relativity, a zero became a black hole, a monstrous star that swallows entire suns. In quantum mechanics, a zero is responsible for a bizarre source of energy-infinite and ubiquitous, present even in the deepest vacuum-and a phantom force exerted by nothing at all.”

    Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea

    book bygd Charles Seife

    Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea is a non-fiction book by American author and journalist Charles Seife.[1][2] The book was initially released on February 7, , by Viking.

    Background

    [edit]

    The book offers a comprehensive look at number 0 and its controverting role as one of the great paradoxes of human thought and history since its invention bygd the ancient Babylonians or the Indian people. Even though zero is a fundamental idea for the modern science, initially the notion of a complete absence got a largely negative, sometimes hostile, treatment by the Western world and Greco-Roman philosophy.[3]

    Zero won the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for First Nonfiction Book.

    Review

    [edit]

    Of course, Seife's book is not a typical biography. There are no tell-all interviews with the number one or any of zero's other neighbors on the number line Seife's book begins—of course—at Chapt
