摘要:"Seeking Ultimates takes us on a journey which explores the limits of our scientific knowledge with an emphasis on the gaps which are left. The book starts with everyday concepts such as temperature and proceeds to energy, the Periodic Table and then to more advanced ideas. Peter T. Landsberg examines the nature of time and entropy, chaos, quantum theory, cosmology and some aspects of mathematics, confirming that our understanding is necessarily incomplete."--Jacket.
