The Blind Spot reveals why our faith in scientific certainty is a dangerous illusion, and how only by embracing science's inherent ambiguities and paradoxes can we truly appreciate its beauty and harness its potential. Crackling with insights into our most perplexing contemporary dilemmas, from climate change to the global financial meltdown, this book challenges our most sacredly held beliefs about science, technology, and progress. At the same time, it shows how the secret to better science can be found where we least expect it--in the uncertain, the ambiguous, and the inevitably unpredictable. William Byers explains why the subjective element in scientific inquiry is in fact what makes it so dynamic, and deftly balances the need for certainty and rigor in science with the equally important need for creativity, freedom, and downright wonder. Drawing on an array of fascinating examples--from Wall Street's overreliance on algorithms to provide certainty in uncertain markets, to undecidable problems in mathematics and computer science, to Georg Cantor's paradoxical but true assertion about infinity--Byers demonstrates how we can and must learn from the existence of blind spots in our scientific and mathematical understanding. The Blind Spot offers an entirely new way of thinking about science, one that highlights its strengths and limitations, its unrealized promise, and, above all, its unavoidable ambiguity. It also points to a more sophisticated approach to the most intractable problems of our time. 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects 606 $aUncertainty (Information theory) 610 $aAcknowledgment (creative arts and sciences). 610 $aAlgorithm. 610 $aAmbiguity. 610 $aAnalogy. 610 $aApproximation. 610 $aAxiom. 610 $aAxiomatic system. 610 $aBasic research. 610 $aBig O notation. 610 $aCalculation. 610 $aCertainty. 610 $aChaos theory. 610 $aCircumference. 610 $aComputation. 610 $aConcept. 610 $aConjecture. 610 $aConsciousness. 610 $aConsistency. 610 $aContingency (philosophy). 610 $aContinuous function. 610 $aContinuum hypothesis. 610 $aContradiction. 610 $aCounting. 610 $aDavid Bohm. 610 $aDynamism (metaphysics). 610 $aEmergence. 610 $aEuclidean geometry. 610 $aExplanation. 610 $aFeeling. 610 $aFermat's Last Theorem. 610 $aGeometry. 610 $aGestalt psychology. 610 $aGregory Chaitin. 610 $aGödel's incompleteness theorems. 610 $aHuman behavior. 610 $aHuman intelligence. 610 $aHypothesis. 610 $aIdeology. 610 $aInference. 610 $aInteger. 610 $aIrrational number. 610 $aLearning. 610 $aLogic. 610 $aLogical reasoning. 610 $aMathematician. 610 $aMathematics. 610 $aMeasurement. 610 $aMethodology. 610 $aModernity. 610 $aMolecule. 610 $aNatural number. 610 $aNature. 610 $aParadigm shift. 610 $aParadox. 610 $aParticipant. 610 $aPhenomenon. 610 $aPhilosopher. 610 $aPhilosophy of mathematics. 610 $aPhilosophy of science. 610 $aPhilosophy. 610 $aPlatonism. 610 $aPrediction. 610 $aPrinciple. 610 $aProbability. 610 $aPythagoreanism. 610 $aQualitative property. 610 $aQuantification (science). 610 $aQuantity. 610 $aQuantum mechanics. 610 $aRandomness. 610 $aRational number. 610 $aRationality. 610 $aReal number. 610 $aReality. 610 $aReason. 610 $aReductionism. 610 $aRelationship between religion and science. 610 $aResult. 610 $aScience. 610 $aScientific method. 610 $aScientific progress. 610 $aScientific theory. 610 $aScientist. 610 $aSelf-reference. 610 $aSet theory. 610 $aSpecial case. 610 $aSubatomic particle. 610 $aSubjectivity. 610 $aSuggestion. 610 $aTechnology. 610 $aThe Philosopher. 610 $aTheorem. 610 $aTheoretical physics. 610 $aTheory of everything. 610 $aTheory. 610 $aThomas Kuhn. 610 $aThought. 610 $aUncertainty. 610 $aUniversality (philosophy). 610 $aWriting. 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aUncertainty (Information theory) 676 $a500 700 $aByers$b William$0944438 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822780703321 996 $aThe blind spot$93998504 997 $aUNINA
