«Impossibility» is John D. Barrow's popular science essay, published by Oxford University Press in paperback (304 pages, in English).
John D. Barrow reflects on what science cannot do or know, and on the frontiers that mark the unrealizable. He addresses limits imposed by the human mind, complexity, computability and the finiteness of time, and relates the existence of unprovable truths to questions such as time travel or the structure of the universe.
Essay on the philosophy of science originally published in 1999; John D. Barrow, astronomer and author of 'Theories of Everything', wrote this work.
Recommended for readers interested in the philosophy of science, popular science and the limits of knowledge.
John David Barrow was an English cosmologist, theoretical physicist, and mathematician. He served as Gresham Professor of Geometry at Gresham College from 2008 to 2011. Barrow was also a writer of popular science and an amateur playwright.
