Where Science is Silent

Where Science is Silent is an intriguing exploration of the unknown and unknowable in science. It dives into the depths of scientific knowledge, looking at that which we cannot see, understand, or explain. Through examples from mathematics, biology, physics, and beyond, author Michael Shermer examines the boundaries of what can be known and suggests that the boundaries may be more porous than we think. By providing an accessible overview of the major questions raised by science’s limits, Shermer suggests that the most interesting topics are at the edges of knowledge where science is silent. He encourages readers to embrace uncertainty and open their minds to the mystery of the unknown, while simultaneously exploring the boundaries of scientific inquiry. An engaging and thought-provoking book, Where Science is Silent offers a stimulating journey into the unknown side of science.
