Description: “Is anything in the real physical universe truly infinite, or is infinity something that only exists in mathematics?” This momentous question came from father and son duo from Edinburgh Sorley aged 10 and Tom, aged adult. This question is so big that we've devoted two episodes to our never-ending quest to investigate infinity. The first episode is a story of mathematics, music and murder. We'll find out why the ancient Pythagoreans decided that infinity was evil and discuss why some infinities are bigger than others. Featuring the mathematical minds of Steven Strogatz from the University of Cornell and Eugenia Cheng, author of Beyond Infinity. Presenters: Adam Rutherford, Hannah Fry Presenter: Michelle Martin
