Summary:
The book explores the possibility that science may soon reach a point where fundamental discoveries are no longer possible due to inherent limits in understanding or technology. It discusses various scientific disciplines, including physics and cosmology, to examine whether there are ultimate limits to what we can know about the universe.
Key points:
1. Science's Limits: Stannard suggests science might have boundaries due to our tools, brains, and physics laws, hinting at possibly unknowable aspects of reality.
