I recently read a book entiltled "The End of Science", which was written by the editor of Scientific American, John Horgan. In a nutshell it discussed the possibility of science reaching its limits and wearing out its feasiblily in our sorrowful "democratic" state. I was wondering if you have heard of or read the book I am speaking about. If so, do you have any opinions on the matter? Has science worn out its welcome?
