Beyond Reason Eight Great Problems That Reveal the Limits of Science
Dewdney A.K.
A mind-bending excursion to the limits of science and mathematics. Are some scientific problems insoluble? In Beyond Reason, internationally acclaimed math and science author A. K. Dewdney answers this question by examining eight insurmountable mathematical and scientific roadblocks that have stumped thinkers across the centuries, from ancient mathematical conundrums such as «squaring the circle, « first attempted by the Pythagoreans, to Gödels vexing theorem, from perpetual motion to the unpredictable behavior of chaotic systems such as the weather.
