Casti, John L., Karlqvist, Anders

SUMMARY

Are there scientific problems that cannot be solved? Does nature itself impose fundamental limits on our knowledge of the universe? Despite the work of some of the greatest minds of the 20th century, no one really knows. In 1995 this profound & far-reaching concern brought together a small but select group of scientists in a remote scientific outpost in Sweden. Includes: John Barrow on the limits of science, John Casti on the search for the unknowableÓ in science, James Hartle on quantum cosmology, Harold Morowitz on complexity & epistemology, & 6 more chapters that illuminates the possible limits to what we can know by using the tools of science.Casti, John L. is the author of 'Boundaries and Barriers On the Limits to Scientific Knowledge' with ISBN 9780788196751 and ISBN 0788196758.
