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?
  • Epilogue: The World, the Flesh and the Devil
  • Acknowledgements
