Sunya and Nothingness: in Science, Philosophy and Religion

In this book the author analyzes the concepts of sunya (zero), void, nothing and other similar notions found in various fields _ mysticism, religion, philosophy, science and mathematics. This exploration reveals a strange but fascinating world of nothingness: a weird world with its mind-boggling contradictions and irrationalism conveying the central message of nihil, where one finds prophets and philosophers trying to harmonize contraries, non sequiturs and irreconciliables.
