To Infinity and Beyond

Synopsis: Infinity is older than time, bigger than the universe and stranger than fiction. Once you learn to count, in theory you could go on counting forever. But instead you enter a paradoxical world where nothing is as it seems. Mathematicians have discovered there are infinitely many infinities, and this programme takes a mind-bending journey to investigate the implications.
