Die Entdeckung Des Unmöglichen by John D. Barrow

A thought-provoking exploration of how the boundary between the possible and the impossible has shifted throughout the history of science, showing through historical episodes and clear explanations how ideas once dismissed as absurd have been transformed into accepted knowledge or practical technology. It traces episodes from mathematics and physics to reveal the interplay of imagination, logic and experiment, and reflects on what these shifts tell us about the limits of scientific reasoning and the prospects for future discovery. The book combines accessible storytelling with philosophical insight to argue that apparent impossibilities often mark the frontier of scientific progress rather than an absolute end point.
