If they have, todays scientists can hope to contribute no more than a few grace notes to the symphony of science.
A book to be published In Britain this week, The End of Science, argues Persuasively that this is the case. Its author, John Horgan, is a senior writer for Scientific American magazine, who has interviewed many of todays leading scientists and science philosophers.
