![]() This is a BBC science documentary series presented by Michael Mosley, exploring how the evolution of scientific understanding is intimately interwoven with society's historical path. This item is fulfilled by our new and used marketplace. ![]() Barrow FRS has been a Professor of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cambridge since 1999, carrying out research in mathematical physics, with special interest in cosmology, gravitation, particle physics and associated applied mathematics. Astronomer John Barrow takes an intriguing look at the limits of science in a book which weaves together a fascinating tapestry of ideas and illuminates some of the most profound questions of science-from the possibility of time travel to the very structure of the universe. Some of these limits are consequences of our nature, some are consequences of the universe's nature, while others are consequences of the nature of knowledge itself. Then we will explore the different types of limits - practical, computational, and fundamental - that constrain what we can know about the universe. Are there limits to science? We will look first at the questions which 19th-century commentators claimed would never be answered. ![]()
