Question Reality! The Limits of Science and the Quest for Knowledge, an IRAS Free Webinar

Dr. Marcello Gleiser will address the questions, "How much can we know of the world?" and "Are there fundamental limits to knowledge?" In this interdisciplinary lecture, I will describe why science necessarily provides a limited description of Nature and discuss the impact this has on our quest for an ever-deeper understanding of reality and for theories of “everything.” Starting with Plato’s Cave, I will trace our ever-changing worldview to arrive at current cosmology, quantum physics, and computer science examples that illustrate a few unknowable questions and their implications.
