Impossibility : the Limits of Science and the Science of Limits.

Barrow first examines the limits of the human mind: our brain evol...

| 520 | |a In Impossibility, John D. Barrow--one of our most elegant and accomplished science writers--argues convincingly that there are limits to human discovery, that there are things that are ultimately unknowable, undoable, or unreachable.

He investigates practical impossibilities, such as those imposed by complexity, uncomputability, or the finiteness of time, space, and resources. Is the universe. | ||
