Science and the Unseen World - A S Eddington - Bog

Science and the Unseen World is a book written by renowned physicist and astronomer, Arthur Stanley Eddington. The book explores the relationship between science and the unseen world, including topics such as the nature of reality, the limitations of scientific knowledge, and the role of consciousness in understanding the universe. Eddington discusses the philosophical and metaphysical implications of scientific discoveries, including relativity and quantum mechanics, and argues that science can only provide a limited understanding of the world around us. He also delves into the concept of mysticism and its relationship to science, suggesting that there may be unseen forces and dimensions that are beyond our current understanding. Overall, Science and the Unseen World is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between science and spirituality.1929. Swarthmore Lecture.
