Confronting science's logical limits

Article Abstract:

Although many of the world's more perplexing questions can be reduced to a computational model, understanding where the model ends and reality begins is fundamental to overcoming the limitations of the model. Noncomputational models such as the mind might not have Godelian limits.

Quest for the limits of the heliosphere

Article Abstract:

The Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 space probes are nearing the outer limits of the heliosphere. As the four spacecraft continue their journey, scientists hope to gain important information on the remote parts of the heliosphere.

Godel and the limits of logic: mathematical genius Kurt Godel was devoted to rationality in his work but struggled with it in his personal life

Article Abstract:

Kurt Godel showed uncanny persistence in his quest for logic and rationality in all things during his entire career. He showed that the axioms of the number theory cannot prove some statements about natural numbers that are otherwise true.
