Publisher’s Summary
Why discovering the limits to science may be the most powerful discovery of all.
How much can we know about the world? In this audiobook physicist Marcelo Gleiser traces our search for answers to the most fundamental questions of existence, the origin of the universe, the nature of reality, and the limits of knowledge. In so doing he reaches a provocative conclusion: Science, like religion, is fundamentally limited as a tool for understanding the world. As science and its philosophical interpretations advance, we face the unsettling recognition of how much we don’t know.
Gleiser shows that by abandoning the dualistic model that divides reality into the known and the unknown, we can embark on a third way based on the acceptance of our limitations. Only then, he argues, will we be truly able to experience freedom, for to be free in an age of science we cannot turn science into a god. Gleiser ultimately offers an uplifting exploration of humanity’s longing to conquer the unknown and of science’s power to transform and inspire.

Appreciating your work today Mr Abuser, not just the volumes but the casual inclusion of sex scenes and violence into the categories! Hoping to see Einstein’s work appear soon in New Age & Metaphysics.
Thanks!

Thanks for this

Yer welcome. I just put “violence” in some of the particle physics books…good luck trying to find quantum particles without violence!
There are a lot more fiction related topics than non-fic. There’s a lot of non-fic out there that aren’t
Business, History, Misc. Non-fic, Self-help, nor Religion & Spirituality.
