Volume 50 — the final volume

This is the last of fifty. It is about the edge of what can be known at all — spanning The Limits of Proof, The Limits of Prediction, The Limits of Observation, Quantum Strangeness, The Cost of Knowing, What We Do Not Know, Black Holes & Information and Indian Thought.

Inside: why mathematics contains truths that can never be proved — and Gödel proved it; why future astronomers, given enough time, will look up at an empty sky and never discover that the universe is expanding; and why, after everything, we still have no test for consciousness — the most familiar unsolved problem in all of science.

Fifty volumes. Fifteen hundred facts. And the last thirty are about everything we still cannot answer — which is, in the end, the most honest place to finish. No myths, no filler — every fact verified against independent sources.
