To know the limits of knowledge is itself knowledge.
Marcus du Sautoy takes readers on a thought-provoking journey to the very edges of human understanding. Is the universe infinite? What happened before the Big Bang? Where is consciousness located in the brain? Are there undiscovered particles beyond the Higgs boson? Drawing on quantum physics, cosmology, neuroscience, and sensory perception, du Sautoy explores whether there are limits to discovery — and how we cope with mysteries that may forever transcend comprehension.
Praised by Bill Bryson as “Brilliant and fascinating. No one is better at making the recondite accessible and exciting.” Perfect for fans of A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking, The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli, and The Biggest Ideas in the Universe by Sean Carroll.
