Description
Highlights all the scientific theories discovered so far, whether it be classical mechanics, thermodynamics, evolution, special and general relativity, earth science, astrophysics, cosmology, quantum mechanics, unified theories, catastrophe, chaos or information theory, are all closed theories. They cannot be improved anymore by small changes. They are closed in themselves with incomplete description of reality with limited scope of applications.
The book predicts the inevitable end of present day science from a different perspective.
It would be of interest to scientists, engineers, and people in general who assume or feel that modern day science and scientific discoveries are a panacea for all human problems.
