	John Horgan, author of The End of Science: The Limits of Knowledge in the Twilight of the Scientific Age, uses his own scientific background and interviews he has done with America's most prominent scientists to present an argument that science as a field of study does have limits. He examines how the increasing amount of knowledge concerning the universe leads people to believe that knowledge is without limits. Horgan also discusses a practice he calls "ironic science"; that is, the tendency of many scientists to postulate on matters which can never be proven. The End of Science: Facing the Limits of Knowledge in the Twilight of the Scientific Age (Helix Books, 1996) John Horgan has contributed to multiple editions of the Journal; click here for his record.
