* We look at the different conceptions of 'infinity' that exist in mathematics, science and philosophy. * We ask whether it is possible for physical infinities to arise in the universe and whether a machine could ever complete an infinite number of tasks in a finite time. * And if so, what would it mean? * The answers to these questions will take us from Zeno's paradox to the beginning of the universe and the centre of black holes.
