Description

Can science explain everything? In On Science (Thinking in Action), physicist Brian Ridley examines the scope and limits of scientific inquiry. This book traces the origins of scientific thought back to a world shaped by magical ideas, suggesting that science may share more common ground with magic than many people realize. Ridley explores the complex relationship between science and mathematics, looking at the uneasy connection between these two fields. The text moves into a discussion of relativity and quantum theory, providing a deep look at how these concepts shape our understanding of the world. This book is an essential read for those interested in the history and philosophy of science, offering a unique perspective on how we think and how our knowledge evolves.
