One of the rules of mathematics and physics, as I - a complete non-mathematician - read often in science books, is that when infinity is introduced into a scientific equation it no longer makes sense.
For my own part, this book is now a permanent fixture at my desk so I can refresh myself on physics concepts that get discussed in papers that I read.
