The End Of Science
The End of Science: Facing the Limits of Knowledge in the Twilight of the Scientific Age
In "The End of Science," John Horgan embarks on a provocative journey to explore the limits of human knowledge and the future of scientific discovery. With unparalleled access to some of the most brilliant minds in the scientific community, Horgan engages in deep, candid conversations that reveal the often unspoken fears and desires that lie at the heart of the quest for knowledge. From the potential of achieving a final "theory of everything" to the possibility that the most significant scientific discoveries are behind us, Horgan challenges the notion that science will forever push the boundaries of what we know. Horgan's narrative weaves together the insights of luminaries across various fields, questioning the continued capacity for revolutionary breakthroughs in a world where science increasingly bumps against physical and theoretical limits. As he delves into the essence of scientific inquiry, from the quest for understanding consciousness to the mysteries of the universe, Horgan posits a future where science may resemble literary criticism more than the empirical quest for truth it once was. Through a blend of sharp analysis, engaging storytelling, and thoughtful reflection, "The End of Science" offers a compelling look at the trajectory of scientific progress and what it means for humanity's search for understanding in an inherently uncertain universe.
