Reviews
Description
This is a popular science book exploring the limits of scientific explanation. In particular, it debates if all sciences will ultimately be reducible to physics. The journey starts with physics itself, where there is a gap between the micro (quantum) and the macro (classical) and moves into chemistry, biology and the social sciences. Written by a practising scientist, this volume offers a personal perspective on various topics and incorporates the latest research.
Contents:
Prologue: The Point of It All
Physics and its Troublesome Gap
Chemistry and Computing: Lost in Translation
Biology: The Biggest Gap of Natural Science
Uniting the Natural Sciences
Economics
Sociobiology
Conclusion: Can We Bridge the Social-Natural Science Gap?
